SD Project 3: ICT Training for Teachers
Purpose: To develop teacher capabilities in and through ICT
Description:
ICTs can be leveraged as effective educational tools. Training teachers in ICTs will increase
their resource base and improve education delivery, hence the need to institutionalize ICT usage
and training for all teachers. Teacher ICT literacy in primary and secondary schools increased
from 17% to 52% in primary schools and from 25% to 51% in secondary schools between 2006
and 2010, respectively. In technical and vocational schools, that rate increased from 31% to 50%
in the same period. This project is aimed at developing ICT literacy and ICT pedagogy in
teaching and learning, by training teachers in basic ICT and leveraging ICT as a tool to enable
teaching and learning.
Activities:
1. Develop national teacher training strategy
2. Facilitate acquisition of ICT tools for teacher through schemes such as loans/subsidies
3. Train teachers in utilization of ICTs

3. Improved education delivery
4. Increased capacities of teachers and students
Outcome Indicators:
1. Teacher training strategy developed and implemented by December 2011
2. Number of teachers with ICT skills
3. Number of on-line content for teacher training and skills acquisition
