Abstract
This short country report, a result of
larger Information for Development Program
(infoDev)-supported survey of 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. The Central African
Republic (CAR) faces many challenges to make a greater
effort in training, budgeting, and awareness creation
concerning the use of ICTs. Introducing ICTs into basic
education (especially in secondary education) is
increasingly seen by many as a necessity, and the
development of teacher skills is necessary to enhance the
use of educational technology. The country has only one
university and enrolment rates are low for most levels of
education. To reverse this situation, the government has
made some worthy efforts to promote basic education, such as
the building of new schools in the capital and the provinces
with assistance from the European Union and the World Bank.
