Plenary Session I: ICT in Education Policy, Plan and Monitoring
ICT in Education: Key Questions for the Future
Gwang-jo Kim, Director, UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education, Thailand.
What is the significance of ICT in education and what should be the direction for ICT in education for the 21st Century and beyond? Questions are important to help us understand what ICT in education is all about before we can develop sound and appropriate policies that will make a positive impact on the quality and reach of education. In posing several key questions, this presentation aims to provide a framework to examine the multiple and complex aspects of ICT in education. This framework will also be instrumental in formulating UNESCO Bangkok’s vision and role for ICT in education for Asia and the Pacific.
