1. Towards a framework ….. Vision Development Where do we want to go? Why? How?

2. Vision Reflects the broad human, social, & environmental betterment in which the framework is situated and to which it is contributing

3. Vision statement The vision statement looks to the future and is written in broad terms. This will form the basis of the ICT-TPD framework and thus needs be thought out carefully. How will the framework fit within other national policies and reforms in progress?  The vision should be strong and shared  Aligned to the overall National Vision, National Plans for ICT development, ICT in Education Policy and sector plans

4. Vision statement Imagine that in 3-5 years the ICT-TPD national programme has been extremely successful. What changes will it have helped to bring about? What are your teachers and students doing differently? What have they achieved? How has the framework contributed to educational access, quality, equity and capacity building? In essence, what would total success look like?
