TI - National Policies that Connect ICT-Based Education Reform to Economic and Social Development
AU - Kozma, Robert B.
T2 - Human Technology: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Humans in ICT Environments
AB - Information and communication technology (ICT) is a principal driver of economic
development and social change, worldwide. In many countries, the need for economic and
social development is used to justify investments in educational reform and in educational
ICT. Yet the connections between national development goals and ICT-based education
reform are often more rhetorical than programmatic. This paper identifies the factors that
influence economic growth and shows how they supported economic and social development
in three national case studies: Singapore, Finland, and Egypt. It describes a systemic
framework of growth factors and types of development that can be used to analyze national
policies and connect ICT-based education reform to national economic and social
development goals. And it discusses how the coordination of policies within and across
ministries can support a nation’s efforts to improve economic and social conditions. The
paper highlights special concerns and challenges of developing countries.
