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. Despite its poor ICT
infrastructure and high levels of poverty, Lesotho has begun
to take the necessary steps to promote higher levels of ICT
access and usage in its communities and education
institutions. The Government of Lesotho has adopted a
national ICT policy that makes some references to the
education sector. Over the last two years, the New
Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) eSchools
Demo Project in Lesotho has been a catalyst in focusing
attention on the potential that ICTs hold to enhance
education in the country.
