Abstract
The systems approach for better
education results (SABER) - information and communication
technology (ICT) policy framework is designed to help
policymakers make better informed decisions about how best
to use ICTs in pursuit of core developmental objectives in
the education sector. It aims to aid and inspire education
policymakers as they draft, re-consider, and evaluate key
policies related to the use of ICT, especially within the
formal education sector at the primary and secondary (K-12)
level. The framework was constructed by analyzing and
synthesizing policy documents from over 80 countries. The
vast majority of these policies relate to formal schooling
at the primary and secondary level; related official policy
guidance for other parts of an education system, including
at the level of early childhood development, technical, and
vocational education (TVET) and higher education, as well as
pertain to out-of-school and life-long learning, is
comparatively rare. While the SABER-ICT framework was
constructed through an analysis of national ICT and
education policies, it is expected that it may be useful
when attempting to analyze and benchmark related
sub-regional policies (that is, at the provincial or state
level) as well.
