Overview

This volume provides policy guidelines and strategies for those who have to make critical decisions about the use of technology in education systems and institutions. To fully understand the implications of any technology for education and national development, we need to explore its growth and impact. This book explores the socio-economic, political and cultural implications of new technology and looks at the critical issues it throws up. It also looks at the policies and strategies suggested for decision-makers. The work concentrates on four broad areas in which technology can have the greatest influence and impact on education. These areas are: access and equity; management and efficiency; pedagogy and quality; and human resource development. It explores the current and potential role of technology in each of these areas, within an appropriate historical, socio-cultural and economic framework. This analysis seeks to promote a better understanding of the key issues, and help readers to relate the issues to their own experience and thus to improve their decision-making.
