Challenges of Using ICT to Improve Quality Education for Sustainable Development: Some Remarks

Given the wide conception of the term "technology," in the interest of focus and efficiency, I would like to limit my remarks to selected challenges of using ICT to improve quality education and to contribute to steady development.Quite befittingly, my remarks mostly refer to Ethiopian conditions, with public educational institutions in focus.I choose to concentrate on challenges, not because there are no opportunities to exploit ICT for enhancing educational provision, but because I would like to set the stage for the upcoming deliberations by readers to first give considerable attention to the overwhelming nature of the issues at hand and then inspect the available opportunities in search of answers to the issues raised.I believe that the deliberations should go beyond academic wrestling, which is so characteristic of many universityinitiated discussion forums, and shed some light on directions for practical measures that can help to address the issues under consideration.
