Abstract
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. Zimbabwe has
been beleaguered by economic, social, and political turmoil
in recent years which has had a debilitating effect on its
already-declining education system. The country nevertheless
has a dedicated national ICT policy that was adopted in 2005
and that makes significant references to the promotion of
ICTs in education including pedagogical use in educational
institutions. Zimbabwe also has a vibrant civil society
sector that promotes ICT for development and education, of
which organizations such as world links Zimbabwe has played
a pioneering role since the late 1990s.
