global e-schools and communities initiative transforming education, empowering communities, promoting development What do we do? GeSCI provides strategic advice to Ministries of Education in developing countries on the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to support the attainment of educational objectives. How do we approach our work? Adopting a demand driven, collaborative and comprehensive approach we aim to improve the quality of teaching and learning, thereby transforming education, empowering communities and promoting development. What is our methodology? GeSCI has identified 5 critical ICT work streams: Policy Development Strategic Implementation & Planning ICTs in Teaching & Learning Infrastructure & Connectivity Monitoring & Evaluation

Good Practice FROM THE TOP- DOWN 1. Policy Development ICT policy must be aligned with wider scale development strategies: ICT 4 D & ICT 4 E. FORESIGHT IS FOREKNOWLEDGE 2. Strategic Implementation and Planning Every stage of the process must be anticipated for integration to succeed. AGENTS OF CHANGE 3. ICTs in Teaching and Learning Children require new competencies to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. - Higher order thinking and problem solving skills, and ICT literacy & Life skills ACCESS, CAPACITY, AVAILABILITY 4. Infrastructure & Connectivity Without adequate infrastructure, technology deployment is a waste of resources. CONTINUOUS LEARNING 5. Monitoring & Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation is an integral part of the process of ICT integration. Without it the entire initiative is flawed, as continuous learning on different levels cannot be realised.
