Today, interest in the potential of ICTs to transform learning experiences and outcomes in Africa usually translates into technological deployment. In most of the cases, it is the result of political will, while development and implementation of ICT integration in education and training policies are usually entrusted to technology experts. This report presents some studies based on existing research and analytical work. Each study provides a very brief background and macro-level national information to allow readers to understand the challenges faced by the country’s education system.

The studies address the following issues: ICT integration policy development and implementation; teachers’ training; availability and development of relevant e-contents; usage of ICT administration and management; and how ICT contributes to providing learning opportunities to marginalized groups (including girls, rural, handicapped, etc.). They describe how these issues have been addressed and lessons learned, including the enabling environment and factors that constrain or promote ICT integration initiatives.
