ICT is central to Rwanda's Vision for 2020, and ICT in education is one of the core pillars of the country's national information and communications infrastructure policy and plan, adopted in 2000. Tremendous progress has been made since then and the country continues to receive plaudits and support from its development partners. The pace of development of a national ICT infrastructure is remarkable as is the progress within the education system on disseminating computers and providing connectivity and teacher training. Moreover, there is a nationwide effort to provide universal access to both infrastructure and the Internet in order to facilitate ICT4D in the broadest sense.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO THE INTERNETACHIEVEMENTSACTION PLANSADULT LITERACYADULT LITERACY RATEBANDWIDTHBASIC SKILLSBINDINGBROADBANDBUSINESSESCALLCAPABILITYCELL PHONESCHURCHESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURECOMMUNITY ACCESSCOMPUTER EDUCATIONCOMPUTER EQUIPMENTCOMPUTER HARDWARECOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTER SKILLSCOMPUTERSCOMPUTERS IN SCHOOLSCONNECTIVITYCURRICULACURRICULA CONTENTCURRICULUMDATA TRANSFERDIGITAL CONTENTDIGITAL DIVIDEDISTANCE EDUCATIONDONOR SUPPORTE-GOVERNANCEE-GOVERNMENTE-LEARNINGECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION DATAEDUCATION INITIATIVESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROJECTSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENTEDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL SOFTWAREEDUCATIONAL STANDARDSFEMALE MEMBERSFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFIBRE OPTICFINANCIAL RESOURCESFREE COMPULSORY PRIMARY EDUCATIONGENDER EQUITYGIRLSGLOBAL EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER LEARNINGHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITYHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTICTIDIMPLEMENTATION PLANSIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIESINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINFORMATION SOCIETYINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONINTERNATIONAL WEB SITESJOINT VENTURELEADERSHIPLEARNING RESOURCESLIFELONG LEARNINGMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMOBILE PHONEMOBILE TELEPHONYNATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL UNIVERSITYNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNONFORMAL EDUCATIONOPERATING SYSTEMPARTICIPATION RATESPDFPERSONAL COMPUTERSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY COMPLETION RATESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY ENROLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SCHOOLSRADIORADIO STATIONSRADIOSRATIO OF GIRLS TO BOYS IN PRIMARYRESULTRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSRURAL WOMENSCHOOL CLASSROOMSSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL TEACHERSSEARCHSEARCH ENGINESECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE TRAININGSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSUPERVISIONTEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER-TRAINING COLLEGESTEACHERSTEACHINGTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETELEVISIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONTIME FRAMETIME FRAMESTRAINING PROGRAMMEUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSITIESUSERSVSATWEBWEB INTERFACEWEB SITEWIRELESS CONNECTIONSWIRELESS INTERNETWIRELESS INTERNET ACCESSWorld Bank10.1596/10701
