ICT in education in Tanzania
| Country: | Tanzania [TZ] |
| Sector: | education |
This is a summary of a report describing an innovative approach developed by the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) to introduce ICT for development (ICT4D) into Tanzania’s education sector.
It briefly describes the status of the education sector in Tanzania before discussing the importance of ICT and the role it can play in improving education. Seven ICT projects developed in Tanzania with IICD’s support are discussed and examples given of how the ICT applications used in these projects are helping the government’s Education Sector Development Programme (ESDP) to reach its objectives. The report aims to give a realistic impression of how these projects have developed over time including what worked, what did not work, and their impact so far.
