25. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION B: POLICY AND CURRICULUM GENDER Refers to the roles and responsibilities of men and women that are created in our families, our societies and our cultures. Gender roles and expectations are learned. They can change over time and they vary within and between cultures. Systems of social differentiation such as political status, class, ethnicity, physical and mental disability, age and more, modify gender roles. The concept of gender is vital because, applied to social analysis, it reveals how women's subordination (or men's domination) is socially constructed. As such, subordination can be changed or ended. It is not biologically predetermined nor is it fixed for ever. POOR GROUPS Refer to persons living below the national poverty threshold in both urban and rural areas.

26. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION B: POLICY AND CURRICULUM RURAL AREA Is based on the definition applied in national statistical practices and exercises. For example, a rural area can be considered as a geographical region outside the urban agglomeration. PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Are a broad group of persons for whom schools need to adapt their curriculum, teaching method and organization, in addition to providing additional human or material resources to stimulate efficient and effective learning. MINORITY Is a group numerically inferior to the rest of the population of a State, in a non- dominant position, whose members - being nationals of the State - possess ethnic, religious or linguistic characteristics differing from those of the rest of the population and show, if only implicitly, a sense of solidarity, directed towards preserving their culture, traditions, religion or language.

27. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION B: POLICY AND CURRICULUM B. 3 Does the education curriculum include a course on basic computer skills or computing?basic computer skillscomputing (please select all boxes that apply for each ISCED level) CURRICULUM refers to the design, planning and sequencing of teaching and learning processes.

From a statistical perspective, nationally-defined content of such modules should be considered. In the absence of a national standard, please consider curriculum modules that have a majority or all of the above content units as equivalent to a basic computer skills course. Basic computer skills may be taught as a separate subject or integrated into other subjects. A common standard applied by a growing number of countries is the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) assessment system, which is derived from the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL).

29. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION B: POLICY AND CURRICULUM COMPUTING refers to a course programme usually taught at ISCED 4, 5 or 6 levels.

UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES C.1 Please provide information on expenditure data and your national currency: C.1.1 What is the name of the national currency used in Tables 1 and 2? C.1.2 Please specify the monetary unit used: (data should be reported in units if possible) C.1.3 Please specify the type of expenditure: (if actual expenditure is not available please provide budget allocations) Table 1: Total government expenditure on ICT in education by level of education - public and private institutionspublic and private institutions

41. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES PRIVATE EDUCATION is offered by educational institutions that are controlled or managed by a nongovernmental organization (including but not limited to a church, trade union or business enterprise), whether or not it receives financial support from public authorities. PUBLIC EDUCATION is offered by educational institutions that are controlled or managed by a governmental education authority or agency that can be at the national/federal, state/provincial or local level, irrespective of the origin of its financial resources.

42. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES CURRENT EXPENDITURE ON ICT IN EDUCATION Current expenditure on ICT in education is expenditure on goods and services for operating ICT-assisted instruction which are consumed within the current year and which may need to be renewed for subsequent year(s).

43. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES CAPITAL EXPENDITURE ON ICT IN EDUCATION Capital expenditure on ICT in education is expenditure on ICT assets within the context of educational institutions that last longer than one year. It includes expenditure on construction, renovation and major repairs of infrastructure (e.g. computer or audiovisual laboratories), computer networks, main telephone lines, cable installations, satellite dishes and other ICT equipment. Capital expenditure on the acquisition of computers, servers, audiovisual materials, radio sets, television sets and other related ICT equipment that last longer than one year is also included.

44. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES COMPUTER LABORATORY Computer laboratory is a room or space equipped with computers (networked or not) devoted to pedagogical use in an educational institution or school library. A computer laboratory differs from an 'Internet café' because its usage is in theory safe from any disruptive, non-pedagogical content and users need authorized access credentials. Irrespective of the number of computers available for pedagogical use, the computer laboratory must be able to accommodate computer-assisted instruction with appropriate software to support learner activities.

45. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION C: GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES ICT HARDWARE Includes all equipment related to the use of ICT in education including computers, printers, scanners, network equipment, routers, televisions, radios, etc. SOFTWARE Software refers to that which can be stored electronically in contrast to storage devices and display devices which are called hardware. Software is often divided into two categories. Systems software includes the operating system and all the utilities that enable the computer to function. Applications software includes programs that do real work for users. For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software.

46. UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS COMMUNICATION and INFORMATION STATISTICS SECTION D: ICT INFRASTRUCTURE INSTRUCTIONS: All programmes (general and vocational) Double counting is permitted since an educational institution may offer two or more programmes that span more than one ISCED level. For example, if an educational institution offers both ISCED level 2 and 3 programmes, it must be counted once under ISCED level 2 and once under ISCED level 3. Primary and secondary organizational units refer to the total of all educational institutions regardless of the number of ISCED level 1 to 3 programmes they offer. Please note that it is therefore not the total of the previous columns.
