Summary: | This short country report, a result of
larger Information for Development Program
(infoDev)-supported survey of the Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa,
provides a general overview of current activities and issues
related to ICT use in education in the country. The past few
years witnessed a host of activities aimed at injecting ICT
in Tanzania's education sector. From the International
Institute for Communication and Development (IICD)-supported
roundtable in Bagamoyo where 11 ICT for education projects
were formulated to the Swedish International Development
Agency (SIDA)-supported stakeholders forum of January 2005,
which saw the birth of the Tanzania eSchools initiative and
many other activities in between. All this has, as a result,
tremendously increased the awareness of the benefits of ICT
within the education sector, not to mention the support from
several development partners. With the raised awareness the
potential that ICT has demonstrated in improving the quality
and access to education, the government, through the
ministry of education and vocational training has recently
developed an ICT Policy for basic education (July 2007) that
will among other things, structure the adoption of ICT
within the education sector. |
