USAID's Principles for Educational Technology Investments
Supraja
USAID employs Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to tackle regions where the infrastructure is lacking and educational institutions are not performing well.
Through the use of technology, solutions are spread, students are linked to information, teaching methods are improved, school administration is enhanced, and policies are informed by data.
ICT is leveraged to assist students in acquiring a wide array of knowledge and skills, encompassing socio-emotional development, reading, and writing.
Having consistent and dependable data is vital for strategic planning, policy formulation, financial oversight, maintenance of school facilities, personnel selection, and aiding in student education.
In the process of investing in educational technology, it's critical to consider both the immediate and long-term expenses to guarantee the technology's sustainability and efficacy.
