Purpose:
To measure learners’ participation in ICT-assisted
education and the degree of implementation of
national policies and plans for ICT use in primary and
secondary education.
Method of collection:
Administrative data collection through annual school
census (or extract data from school records).
Data source(s):
Statistical unit of the Ministry of Education or,
alternatively, the national statistical office.

Analysis and interpretation:
A high percentage or value for this indicator reveals a
high degree of learner participation in ICT-assisted
instruction in primary and secondary schools, which also
indicates strong implementation of national ICT in
education policies and plans.
This indicator can also be calculated and analysed by
geographical regions, urban/rural areas, and by school.
Methodological and definition issues or
operational limitations:
In counting learners, caution must be exercised in
order to avoid double-counting learners who are
benefiting from more than one type of ICT service
(radio, television, computer or Internet) in support of
their learning activities.
