Using ICTs to enhance education in Bolivia’s schools
| Country: | Bolivia [BO] |
| Sector: |
Results so far are positive: 65 computer labs are now serving 110 primary and secondary schools in Oruro, Tarija and Santa Cruz and 35,000 teachers. Schoolchildren have been trained to use ICT in the classroom and developed interactive support materials.
‘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.
