Description

Increasing learner access to information and communication technologies (ICT) in the curriculum is strategically important to ensure that school leavers moving into the labour market or into further study have the appropriate background and capacities to succeed, as work and educational environments becoming increasingly information intensive.

Information and Communication Technologies in South African Secondary Schools is based on the results of research undertaken in the Second Information Technology in Education Study (SITES) , an international cross-sectional survey evaluating the status of ICT in relation to instructional activities across 26 countries.

In contextualising the South African data against the background of international developments, the results from this study provide a useful overview of practices and policies in ICT in education around the world.
