Farrell, Glen2012-08-132012-08-132007-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/10655This short country report, a result of larger Information for Development Program (infoDev)-supported survey of the 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. As it adopts ICT in education, Uganda faces the same challenges as most developing economies - poorly developed ICT infrastructure, high bandwidth costs, an unreliable supply of electricity, and a general lack of resources to meet a broad spectrum of needs. However, with the rapid emergence of wireless network capacity and the ubiquitous growth of mobile phones, the context of the infrastructure is changing. A national ICT policy is in place and an education sector ICT policy is before cabinet. The ministry of education and sports is taking steps to co-ordinate ICT development and has allocated resources to support implementation of its ICT strategy.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS FOR WOMENACCESS TO COMPUTERSACCESS TO SECONDARY EDUCATIONACHIEVEMENTSADOPTION OF ICTADULT LITERACYADULT LITERACY RATEBACKUPSBANDWIDTHBROADCASTINGBUSINESS PROCESSESBUSINESSESCAPABILITYCAPACITY-BUILDINGCD-ROMSCIVIL SOCIETYCLASS SIZESCLASSROOMSCOLLEGESCOMMERCECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTER SKILLSCOMPUTER TRAININGCONFIDENTIAL DATACONNECTIVITYCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUM MATERIALSCURRICULUM REFORMSDEMONSTRATIONDIGITAL CAMERADIGITAL CONTENTDIGITAL DIVIDEDISCIPLINESDISTANCE EDUCATIONDONOR SUPPORTE-GOVERNMENTE-LEARNINGE-MAILE-MAIL ADDRESSESE-READINESSEARLY LESSONSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION DATAEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION PLANNINGEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL CURRICULAEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTELEARNINGELECTRICITYELIMINATION OF GENDER DISPARITYENROLMENT RATIOENROLMENTSEQUIPMENTEQUITABLE ACCESSFACULTIESFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFIBRE OPTICSFORMAL EDUCATIONFREE SECONDARY EDUCATIONGENDER DISPARITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER ISSUESGENERAL POPULATIONGIRLSGOVERNMENT NETWORKHARDWAREHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITYHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESICTIDIMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION PLANSINFORMATION COMMUNICATIONINFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESINFORMATION PORTALSINFORMATION SOCIETYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONINSTRUCTORSINTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONLEADERSHIPLEARNERSLEARNING CENTRESLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING PROCESSLICENSESLIFELONG EDUCATIONLITERACY IMPROVEMENTLITERACY RATELOWER SECONDARY LEVELMATERIALMEDICAL EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILE PHONESMOBILE TELEPHONYMULTIMEDIANATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DISTANCE EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION BUDGETNATIONAL LANGUAGENETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNUMBER OF SCHOOLSOPEN UNIVERSITYPARTICIPATION RATESPDFPEDAGOGICAL USEPERSONAL COMPUTERSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOST-PRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY COMPLETION RATESPRIMARY ENROLMENTPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY LEVELSPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY TEACHERSPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPUBLIC ACCESS POINTRADIORADIO STATIONSRADIOSRATIO OF GIRLS TO BOYS IN PRIMARYRESOURCE CENTRERESULTRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSEARCHSEARCH ENGINESECONDARY SCHOOLSSECURITY MANAGEMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSPORTSSTUDENT MOBILITYTEACHERTEACHER EDUCATORSTEACHERSTEACHINGTECHNICAL COLLEGESTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL SUPPORTTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETELEPHONYTELEVISIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION SECTORTERTIARY INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY LEVELTERTIARY SECTORTIME FRAMETRAINING CENTRESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING NEEDSTRAINING OF TEACHERSUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SECONDARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL COMPLETIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY COUNCILUNIVERSITY FACULTYUSERSVIDEOVOCATIONAL SKILLSVSATWEBWEB SITEWEB SITESWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/10655
