| 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. Namibia has played a
pioneering and visionary role in Africa in the area of ICTs
in education and serves as a beacon for many organizations
and groups operating across the continent. Namibia offers
innovative options on affordable and sustainable access to
ICTs through the active involvement of local youth under the
leadership of SchoolNet Namibia. In addition to a visionary
national ICT for education policy, the Namibian government
has also taken the lead in committing a dedicated budget to
support ICTs in education and the establishment of machinery
for coordinated multi-stakeholder collaboration. |
