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. Kenya has made
remarkable progress putting in place an ICT policy framework
and implementation strategy, complete with measurable
outcomes and time frames. The process has had the benefit of
sound advice from officials and stakeholders and, perhaps
more importantly, strong leadership from the office of the
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education. However,
universal implementation is challenging given the lack of
resources, national ICT infrastructure, and even electrical
supply - particularly in the rural areas.
