Therese Mungah<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>, </span></font>Shalo
Tchombe and Thierry Karsenti<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>. </span></font> According
to this report, the debate is no longer whether to use ICTs in education in <st1:place
w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable
access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This
publication looks at how Africans adopt and adapt ICTs and how ICTs are shaping
African schools and classrooms. It seeks to answer some of the following
questions: Why ICTs are being used, or why not? Do girls and boys use them in
the same way? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in
<st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> using ICTs in teaching and learning?
How does the process transform relations among learners, educators and
knowledge construction? <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></font></p>
