1.Access to and use of the following by a) no. of schools and non-formal learning centres; b) no. of students/learners, c) no of teachers/school staff § electricity § computers § handhelds (PDAs) § telephone § intranet § Internet § TV/VCR/VCD/DVD § Radio § (see questionnaire for complete listing)
|
Definition Actual count of schools (formal and non-formal) and learners/students and teachers with: · Access to electricity able to support ICT facilities during school hours; · Access to communication facilities, e.g. telephone, fax machines, mobile phones · Access to computers, PDAs · Access to Internet · Access to Intranet · Access to TV/CVR/VCD/ radio, and other ICT facilities · Access Satellites, cable |
|
Purpose Availability/non-availability of the mentioned infrastructures and ICT facilities and the number available determines the level of development of ICT use in these schools/NFE centres and the extent by which use of ICT in education is being enabled by the presence of such facilities

2.Number of computers per 100 students/learners |
Definition The student-computer ratio is a proxy measure of the access or availability of computers to students in schools/NFE centres. Only computers used for educational purposes are included in the ratio |
|
Purpose One measure of compliance to policy on ICT for education is higher ratio of computer to students/learners which also means that schools/NFE centre or ministry implements what is in the master plan. This also shows how schools/NFE centres meet the ideal situation of obtaining the desirable ratio between students and computers

4. Access and use of computers after school hours within and outside schools |
Definition To determine whether teachers and students are able to continue their ICT-based teaching and learning after school hours either within or at other locations like home, cybercafe, at friends, etc.
|
|
Purpose This will help school administrators to determine whether ICT use is related to the number of hours in which students and teachers are able to access computer and related technologies and whether access to ICT after school hours can be permitted in the schools by extending opening hours of laboratories. Knowing whether or not there are ICTs and computers outside of the school that can be accessed will help school administrators to mobilize external resources for purposes of supporting school-based ICT activities as well as make further improvements in ICT-based teaching contents and methodologies.

Definition Shows where computers are located in the schools/NFE centres and percentage of students and teachers using computers in identified specific locations, e.g., computer laboratory, classrooms, administrator’s office, teacher’s lounge, etc.
|
|
Purpose Knowing the specific location of computers in schools/NFE centres will indicate whether or not there is an environment that allows maximum use and accessibility of computers and related technologies. It will also show the level of sophistication in ICT facilities in the schools/NFE centres

6. Number of schools collecting fees for use of ICTs |
Definition This indicates some impediment to full and free access to ICT use. Some schools/NFE centres collect fees for general computer use or for computer courses; use of computers after class by students, etc.
|
|
Purpose Access to computers can become limited or constraint because of fees that may not be affordable to everyone. This is also an indication as how ICT is narrowing or widening access gap
