Projects

  • ICT in Secondary Education in the Pacific Region 
    ICT has the potential to enhance people’s lives in the Pacific Islands Countries (PICs) in many ways. Day to day activities such as simple communication, health, education and economic activities are largely improved through affordable and stable digital network infrastructure. However, to benefit from ICTs, countries need to include ICT education and training in their national strategic plans, so that more people attain skills and expertise in the area of ICT.

  • Implementation of ICT in Teacher Training: The Communication Initiative Network
    According to this case study, the geographical features of Fiji, combined with political obstacles, have hindered the country’s infrastructure development and the incorporation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into educational policies and practices.
