Using ICTs to enhance education in Bolivia’s schools

‘In addition to having learned how to use these technologies together with my students, I now use the computer as an effective additional teaching tool.’, Maria Lourdes, one of the teachers involved in the AYNI project in Oruro. This is only one of several encouraging statements made by teachers and schoolchildren participating in education projects set up under the TiCBolivia programme in Bolivia (www.ticbolivia.net). Three organisations - Fundacion AYNI, APCOB and CEPAC – are the driving force behind the education projects. Each one is using ICT to improve access to, and enhance the quality of, education in Bolivia’s primary and secondary schools.
