This short country report, a result of larger Information for Development Program (infoDev)-supported survey of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. As it adopts ICT in education, Uganda faces the same challenges as most developing economies - poorly developed ICT infrastructure, high bandwidth costs, an unreliable supply of electricity, and a general lack of resources to meet a broad spectrum of needs. However, with the rapid emergence of wireless network capacity and the ubiquitous growth of mobile phones, the context of the infrastructure is changing. A national ICT policy is in place and an education sector ICT policy is before cabinet. The ministry of education and sports is taking steps to co-ordinate ICT development and has allocated resources to support implementation of its ICT strategy.

This short country report, a result of larger Information for Development Program (infoDev) - supported survey of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. The Federal Republic of Nigeria has no specific policy for ICT in education. The Ministry of Education created its ICT department in February 2007, notwithstanding several government agencies and other stakeholders in the private sector having initiated ICT-driven projects and programs to impact all levels of the educational sector. The challenge is the lack of electric power and telecommunications infrastructure in a substantial part of the country. Mobile telecommunication currently covers 60 percent of the national territory, but mobile telephone companies generally power their base stations using electric power generators since the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) is unable to supply them with power. This phenomenon is prevalent nationwide and constitutes the bottleneck to effective countrywide deployment of ICT in education. It is projected that Nigeria will be a net supplier of electric power by the end of 2007 when its massive cross-country electric power grid construction and interconnection projects are completed. It is hoped that mobile operators will introduce technologies that permit Internet access on their networks across the country to facilitate the implementation of e-learning programs.

The Republic of Congo has recently developed an official ICT policy co-ordinated by the Committee for the Promotion of Information Technologies in Congo (COPTIC). One of the priorities is to set up a national plan for ICT infrastructure, the lack of which, along with the high cost of computer products and services, is hindering the development of ICT applications in several social sectors, including education. A recent lowering of custom fees has helped to alleviate the problem somewhat. Several distance education initiatives are being developed to provide students and businesses in the Congo with an opportunity to access advanced quality training.

Benin was the first country in West Africa to connect to the internet, which it did in 1995. However the weak legal and investment framework stalled progress and development of its ICT sector. Currently, deployment and integration of ICTs in education are at their lowest from the primary to the tertiary levels. While donor support helped realize some amount of meaningful connectivity to the internet, the necessary contribution from ministerial and government agency sources that should have contributed to advance the cause failed because they were inept at delivering on their assigned roles. Connectivity to the Third Semi-arid Tropics (SAT-3) submarine cable has made permanent connection to the internet via Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) a possibility and has reduced service charges considerably. This may provide a way forward from a seemingly intractable situation.

Madagascar has begun to take steps towards promoting ICTs for development with the adoption of two policies: 1) the national ICT policy in 2004; and 2) the economic and social development policy, the Madagascar Action Plan for 2007-2012, which promotes the expansion of ICT infrastructure and access in the country including the establishment of ICT centers in schools. The country does not have a national ICT policy for education, and the level of access to ICTs including connectivity is relatively low. There are a few initiatives in the country that attempt to promote the access and use of ICTs to support learning and teaching, but these largely assume the form of extracurricular projects.

Kenya has made remarkable progress putting in place an ICT policy framework and implementation strategy, complete with measurable outcomes and time frames. The process has had the benefit of sound advice from officials and stakeholders and, perhaps more importantly, strong leadership from the office of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education. However, universal implementation is challenging given the lack of resources, national ICT infrastructure, and even electrical supply - particularly in the rural areas.

Botswana is a small, dynamic country with visionary leadership particularly in the sector of ICTs in education. Not only does it boast a liberal telecoms policy, its education and national ICT policies are linked to a broader economic vision for the country. Moreover, in practice, Botswana arguably boasts among the highest computer penetration in education institutions in Africa. As well, all junior and senior secondary schools and government tertiary institutions have computer labs. The government has committed financial resources to improve connectivity and to promote the educational use of ICTs.

Several researchers have indicated that the emphasis placed by young people on body shape and appearance has been greatly shaped by the media. The aim of this research was to investigate this notion specifically with regard to televised media. It was hypothesised that there would be a relationship between media images, eating attitudes and dietary behaviours, particularly for teenagers with body-image self-schemas who were conscious of their appearance. Nine hundred and sixty five senior secondary school students, from 33 country and metropolitan, state and independent, co-educational and single-sex South Australian high schools were surveyed. Fifty-six percent of the sample were adolescent girls and the average age of participants was 16.1 years. The questionnaire included sections on television usage, dieting behaviours, eating restraint and eating habits, as well as attitudes to foods, gender and appearance. Cluster analysis procedures indicated that it was possible to cluster television viewers into four distinct groups, "Telephiliacs", "Telephobics", "Modellers" and a "Relaxation/Information" group. These groups were classified according to television usage. Telephiliacs made the mose use of television, using it to gain information...

Mauritania's approach to the implementation of ICTs in the educational and public sectors has been to use the Universite de Nouakchott as the focal point of its activities to enhance the usage of these technologies in the youth and the administration of the country in future. The university is providing the leadership, plans, training, and management of the entire process. With the growth of the country's oil industry, financial constraints that previously could have impeded the country's drive towards its connectivity objectives will be reduced; this should help to advance the rollout of its Internet connectivity and electrification programmes. Challenges include the relatively low number of secondary schools, and corresponding low enrolment levels...

Following the model of the Singaporean experience, the Mauritian government has been visionary in its promotion of its country as a 'cyber island,' a hub for the southern African region with a diversified economy. Mauritius has attempted to promote ICTs in schools since the late 1990s which is reflected in its national ICT policy, a segment of which is dedicated to education.

Tertiary education, and in particular technical and engineering education, is critical to India's aspirations of strengthening its reputation as a major competitive player in the Global knowledge economy. The system is huge and complex, and there is a consensus that reforms are imperative. Issues of fair access and affordable participation in higher education are critical if India is to empower its people with educational opportunities that allow individual potential to be fulfilled, and allow more Indian graduates opportunities for employment and to compete in an international arena. There are approximately 2,400 technical and engineering institutions across India's 30 states, of which less than 8 percent of public institutions are autonomous. The demand for tertiary education continues. There has been a phenomenal growth in the number of private colleges across India in the last 20 years. Private colleges now deliver 85 percent of all technical and engineering education. The significant changes in supply and demand make it increasingly important to ensure that tertiary education systems and institutions are effectively and efficiently governed and managed to meet the needs of industry and society. As key national changes are imminent...

Diante do impacto das tecnologias de informação e comunicação em todos os setores das atividades humanas, torna-se cada vez mais urgente que a escola preocupe-se em analisar os seus efeitos para promover de forma permanente uma educação para mídia. Este estudo trata de educação, comunicação, televisão e escola. O trabalho de pesquisa realizado com duas turmas de 4a série do Ensino Fundamental, da Escola Estadual Sérgio Pereira Porto, teve como principal objeto de estudo duas questões básicas: a introdução da linguagem da televisão na escola e a produção de mídia pelas crianças. Os alunos tiveram a chance de trabalhar em conjunto através da pedagogia do diálogo de Paulo Freire. Por fim, aprenderam a produzir e editar um audiovisual. O uso da linguagem da televisão transformou o cotidiano da sala de aula, possibilitando novas formas de aprendizagem e ensino. A análise crítica da televisão a partir do seu manuseio resultou em uma mudança de atitude frente a esse meio e melhorou a participação infantil; In view of the information and communication technologies in all sectors of the human activities it becomes more and more urgent that the school concerns itself with the analysis of their effects to promote in a permanent way an education for midia.

This study examines the situation of environmental education and the issue of media - the radio and television - in the public school of elementary school, as a mediator in the construction of knowledge and citizenship. The study was conducted in four schools in environmental areas - Laguna Complex Mundaú Manguaba (Pontal da Barra district) and APA of Catolé (Tabuleiro district) - the city of Maceió / Alagoas, which already have experience in Environmental Education. With the objective to understand the relationship between the media - radio and television - the research seeks to answer the question of how schools should deal with the environmental education to contribute to the development of a critical consciousness and how the radio and television are used in school to change this situation. Uses the historicalcritical methodology and presents as subjects of research, teachers and students of the school from the analysis of their speeches and records to verify that Environmental Education is embedded in the pedagogical work in view of the construction of ecodevelopment and whether the media - TV and radio - potentiate the political and pedagogical production. Its theoretical basis is based on author's environmental movement, environmental education...

O presente artigo propõe articulações entre Comunicação e Educação ao investigar as condições de produção de um programa televisivo. Partindo do pensamento arqueológico de Michel Foucault e ressaltando a inseparabilidade entre teoria e método, questiona as noções de causalidade e linearidade na busca de uma 'origem' do objeto de pesquisa que intentamos estudar. Procura, sim, apontar para múltiplas condições de emergência da microssérie Cidade dos homens. Para tanto, seleciona os programas veiculados no período de 2002 a 2004 na Rede Globo, destacando a originalidade de sua temática e a contemporaneidade de sua produção. Pergunta-se também de que modo o programa apresenta verdades sobre jovens negros e moradores da periferia, personagens até há pouco excluídos do espaço de protagonistas em um seriado de ficção. O estudo procura considerar a força que os movimentos sociais vêm conquistando na sociedade brasileira, movimentos reconhecidamente políticos, marcados pela contestação e que começam a fazer parte também da esfera televisiva. Torna-se importante, a partir disso, considerar a forma como a televisão incorpora o discurso desses movimentos e o transforma para ser devolvido ao público. O trabalho de investigação sobre a mídia televisiva...

Dadas las implicancias educativas de la televisión, se decidió estudiar la frecuencia y características de los eventos con bebidas alcohólicas y analcohólicas en la televisión chilena utilizando el método ideado por Garlington. El registro fue hecho por períodos de media hora, distribuidos aleatoriamente, para cada observador, voluntaria perteneciente a una comuna que se caracteriza por su bajo nivel sociocultural; ellas monitorearon durante una semana, de Lunes a Viernes todos los programas transmitidos desde las 20:00 a las 24:00 horas. Se observó que, en promedio, por cada canal se transmite un evento de bebida alcohólica cada 24 minutos 19 segundos y uno de bebida no alcohólica cada 37 minutos y medio; las imágenes de bebida alcohólicas se incrementan a partir de las 21:30 horas. Del total de eventos, 60,7% corresponden a bebidas alcohólicas y de éstos el 61,1% tiene carácter publicitario. Los eventos relacionados con bebidas alcohólicas ocurren principalmente en la casa, por amistad y en forma de escenas, los con no alcohólicas en lugares desportivos, por amistad y en escena de ingestión.; In view of the educational impact of television, the frequency and characteristics of T.V. events associated both with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages were studied...
