Abstract
This study was commissioned by SchoolNet Africa (SNA) in partnership with the
Commonwealth of Learning (COL), the International Institute for Communication
and Development (IICD) and the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa (OSISA).
It is the most extensive examination to date of teacher training in information and
communication technology (ICT) in African countries at both the pre-service and inservice
levels. Through documentary review, interviews and discussions with a broad
range of stakeholders and service providers involved in the field of ICT training for
African teachers, this report has identified and listed as many of the ICT courses and
programmes available to African teachers as possible. A broad range of these courses
and programmes has been evaluated in more detail in order to highlight the obstacles
and challenges to ICT integration in teacher training in Africa. This has informed
some recommendations for strategic interventions at a national level to aid in moving
forward with ICT integration by and for African teachers.
