Tutu, Osei Agyeman2012-08-132012-08-132007-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/10669This 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. Guinea has begun the implementation of ICT in the tertiary education sector in collaboration with donors. Donor efforts have also recorded significant impact on the primary and secondary education sectors. Specifically, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has assisted Guinea under the Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) programme and launched other initiatives jointly with some state organizations. Poor electrification and telecommunication infrastructure, however, hinders the process. Connectivity is limited to certain urban areas and power supply is at best irregular even in the administrative region in the capital city, Conakry, where the ministries and principal organs of state are located. This phenomenon among others presents challenges to the deployment of ICTs across the country, particularly in the education sector.CC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC YEARADULT EDUCATIONADULT EDUCATION ACTIVITIESADULT LEARNERSADULT LITERACYANNUAL EXAMINATIONSBASIC EDUCATIONBIOLOGYCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMPLETION RATESCOURSE CONTENTDISTANCE EDUCATIONDISTANCE LEARNINGDISTANCE TEACHINGDISTRICT EDUCATIONDROP-OUTSEARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION ASSISTANCEEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION MANAGEMENTEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL POLICYEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMELEMENTARY SCHOOLELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERSEMPLOYMENTENROLMENT FIGURESENROLMENT STATISTICSEXAMSFACULTIESFACULTY MEMBERSFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMSGENDER EQUITYGIRLSGLOBAL LEARNINGHEAD TEACHERSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINTERACTIVE RADIOINTERACTIVE RADIO INSTRUCTIONINTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONINTERVENTIONSLANGUAGE COURSESLEADERSHIPLEARNING ACTIVITIESLEARNING RESOURCESLECTURERSLEVEL OF ILLITERACYLITERACYLITERACY SERVICELOW ENROLMENTMANUALSMATHEMATICSNATIONAL LITERACYNON-FORMAL EDUCATIONNUMBER OF SCHOOLSPHYSICSPRIMARY CLASSESPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONPROFESSIONAL SCHOOLSPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESPUPILSRADIOREADINGREPETITIONRESOURCE CENTRESRURAL AREASSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL EDUCATIONSCHOOL ENROLMENTSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENCE EDUCATIONSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTISTSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSOCIAL PSYCHOLOGYSTUDENT POPULATIONSTEACHERTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER TRAINEESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER-TRAINERSTEACHER-TRAINING POLICYTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ASSIGNMENTSTEACHING MATERIALSTEACHING METHODSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION SECTORTERTIARY LEVELTRAINEESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING PROGRAMMEUNIVERSITY COURSESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY STUDENTSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWorld Bank10.1596/10669
