| Summary: | Following the Introduction in chapter
one, the report provides a country overview in chapter two
to provide the national context. The connectivity gap has
both a supply-side and a demand-side: Chapter three explores
the demand-side, focusing on ICT in the education sector and
the challenges impacting the use of information and
communication technologies for teaching, learning, and
research, creating the pull factors; and chapter four
examines the supply-side, the ICT sector's key
components and the challenges affecting high-speed
connectivity. The National Research and Education Network
(NREN), the Mozambique Research and Education Network
(MoRENet) is the higher education response created to close
the gap between the demand-side and the supply-side, and
chapter five presents a high-level summary of the status of
this NREN as well as its achievements and limitation in
delivering high-speed connectivity to HEIs. Drawing on
findings from the earlier chapters, chapter six discusses
the cost of connecting all higher education institutions in
Mozambique to high-speed Internet. The conclusion is given
in chapter seven followed by appendices. |
