Abstract
This report presents insights from an empirical analysis of survey-based responses from teachers and relevant stakeholders on the availability and use of digital tools and resources, existing ICT strategies and policies, and training and development provided to students, teachers, and management.
Analysis of the data gathered from the survey shows that many schools in Fiji have access to digital tools such as devices, the Internet, and computer labs. There is also lack of digital tools and resources, appropriate training for students and staff. Stable Internet connection remains a persistent challenge for most rural, remote, and even urban schools in Fiji. Despite these challenges, teachers in many schools promote and encourage using ICT tools for learning.
The study recommends that an ICT in education policy is needed for the education sector in Fiji to guide seamlessly integration of digital tools and resources in teaching and learning.
