Education for the most marginalised Episode 4: Azra Naseem on “In the local context – using digital technologies to develop local content”

Members of the UNESCO Chair in ICT4D led an exciting  collaborative initiative between June and September 2020 to produce a Report on practical guidance for governments on using digital technologies to enhance their education systems once the immediate crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had passed (see Summary).  The Report is (relatively) short, succinct and practical, and includes a series of brief Guidance Notes addressing the most important actvities that governments need to address to ensure the inclusion of some of the world’s poorest and most marginalised people.  This work was funded by DFID (now FCDO) and the World Bank through their EdTech Hub and details of the process through which it was crafted are summarised here.  A selection of audio files associated with this work is now being launched as podcasts by the ICT4D Collective. See more information about this project here.
