| Summary: | This case study explores the
establishment and changing role of Pustekkom, the Centre for
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for
Education, which is part of the Ministry of Education and
Culture in Indonesia. Originally established a content
development house, with a focus on audio and radio and video
or film or television content, Pustekkom is currently
grappling with a requirement to change its role, given a new
mandate that it has been given to plan and provide ICT
infrastructure, services, professional development, and
resources to schools. Thus, this case study explores the
challenges facing Pustekkom, as well as how it is responding
to a common challenge facing education systems around the
world: how do well established systems and organizations
that have operated on a relatively stable set of assumptions
for many years cope with the institutional transformation
that is being forced on them as growing ICT penetration
within societies challenges traditional ways of operating
and disrupts entrenched power structures in education? This
exploration of a national ICT in education agency with a
transforming mandate yields some key lessons of potential
relevance globally. |
