Senegal's hand on commitment to incorporating ICT in education is still in the beginning stages of progress and evaluation. Although Senegal's public officials and government bodies recognize ICT as a powerful engine for progress in economic expansion and modernization and have a national ICT policy in place, it has not yet been integrated into the education sector in any kind of formal policy. However, the Ministry of Education and several organizations have taken initiatives to launch and continue activities that will facilitate the modernization of schools and other educational institutions. Initiatives have also been made in the informal sector, such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Community Multimedia Center Scale-Up Project, to make ICT accessible to community members. Although obstacles remain, such as the need for more telecommunications infrastructure and computer materials, the outlook for integrating ICT into Senegal's education system is very optimistic.CC BY 3.0 IGOACTION PLANACTION PLANSADSLANTENNABROADCASTCELLULAR PHONECELLULAR PHONESCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCOLLEGESCOMMUNICATION SCIENCESCOMMUNICATION SERVICESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITY ACCESSCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCOMMUNITY RADIOCOMMUNITY SCHOOLSCOMPUTER EQUIPMENTCOMPUTER HARDWARECOMPUTER NETWORKCOMPUTER SCIENCECOMPUTER SKILLSCOMPUTER SOFTWARECOMPUTER TECHNOLOGYCOMPUTER-EDUCATIONCOMPUTERS IN SCHOOLSCONNECTIVITYCONVENTIONAL SCHOOLSCONVENTIONAL TRAININGCOURSE OFFERINGSDIGITAL ACCESSDIGITAL CONTENTDIGITAL DEVICESDIGITAL GAPDISTANCE EDUCATIONDISTANCE LEARNINGDISTANCE TRAININGEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROJECTSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATORSEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL SCIENCESEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMELECTRICITYELEMENTARY EDUCATIONELEMENTARY SCHOOLELEMENTARY SCHOOLSEMPLOYMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONGENDER EQUITYGIRLSHIGH SCHOOLHIGH SCHOOLSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN RESOURCESICTIMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATIONINFORMAL EDUCATIONINFORMATION NETWORKINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINSTALLATIONINTERNAL COMMUNICATIONSINTRANETLEARNERSLEARNINGLEARNING PROCESSESLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTHLITERACYLITERACY DEVELOPMENTLITERACY RATELITERATUREMIDDLE SCHOOLMIDDLE SCHOOLSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILE TELEPHONYMULTIMEDIANETWORKSNUMBER OF STUDENTSPCSPDFPERSONAL COMPUTERSPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROFESSIONAL TRAININGPROTOCOLRADIORADIOSRESOURCE CENTRERESULTRURAL AREASSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL CURRICULASCHOOL CURRICULUMSCHOOL LIFESCHOOL STAFFSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL-AGESCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONSCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSEARCHSEARCH ENGINESKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPECIAL EDUCATIONTEACHERSTEACHINGTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANYTELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURETELEPHONETELEPHONE LINESTELEPHONE NETWORKTELEPHONESTELEVISIONSTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING INSTITUTESTRAINING WORKSHOPTRAINING WORKSHOPSTYPES OF EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUSERSVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVSATWEBWEB PORTALWEB SITEWEB SITESWIRELESS CONNECTIONYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/10650
