Education and Technology : Way Forward For Inclusive Growth

Overview

This Policy Brief sheds light on the optimum and ethical use of technology in educational institutions. It assesses key challenges such as constraints to adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in the education sector, transition cost of adopting data protection principles for educational institutions and lack of awareness and capacity for using technology in the education sector. For addressing these challenges the brief gives recommendations to increase infrastructural capacities of educational institutions, to revise the draft National Education Policy to bring in more inclusivity and to build capacity and awareness for adopting education technology tools with the help of civil society organisations.
