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. Three decades of civil
war have decimated the country's infrastructure and
education system with large sections of the population still
in dire straits, and high numbers of school-age children are
out of school. Amid these challenges, the government has
established a National Commission on Information Technology,
now called the National Information Technology Agency, which
has been given the task of developing a national ICT policy.
There are a few programs and projects specifically on ICTs
in education in the country, although these are largely
small-scale, short-term initiatives.
