Title
Investigating ICTs for Education in Marginalized Communities
Abstract
The Agenda for Sustainable Development is a universal agenda to eliminate poverty through sustainable development by
2030. When it was adopted in 2015, the international community recognized that education was essential for the success of
all seventeen of its goals. Ambitions for education are captured in Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to “ensure
inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The United Nations has
explicitly stated the importance of using ICTs in achieving educational opportunities. Since then, very few studies have
tackled the issue. The findings so far, do not provide detailed guidance on the impact of ICTs in this domain. The purpose of
this study is to contribute to this gap by integrating research in the fields of Information Systems, Development studies, and
Psychology to understand the factors for facilitating educational objectives through ICTs within marginalized communities.
