ICT use in Asia-Pacific Countries High ICT use Moderate ICT use Low or limited ICT use Afghanistan Maldives China Indonesia New Zealand South Korea Strategy framework for promoting ICT literacy in the Asia-Pacific region. Bangkok: UNESC Bangkok, 2008. 10
Low ICT use in developing countries High appreciation, but low ICT availability ICT training in public education, but lack of qualified teachers ICT equipped schools, but lack of educational resources and content Various international assistance, but little sustainability in education Master plans in educational reform, but lack of effective and efficient strategies 11
Korea s Involvement with International ICT use in Education Consulting 12
