Summary
Technologies in the school environment have long shown potential to improve education in low-income countries. However, significant gaps in knowledge, capacity and policy still hinder the effective adoption and scaling of proven educational technologies (Edtech). There is a lack of impartial, reliable evidence on the impact of Edtech in enhancing educators’ capacity to effectively use these technologies, and in creating favourable policy environments for their success. It is also important to include Edtech in broader pedagogical approaches rather than putting it at the centre and to ensure it reaches vulnerable populations and promotes gender equality throughout its design, implementation and scaling.
IDRC is launching a three-year global initiative to strengthen the capacities of key educational stakeholders — particularly technical teams within ministries of education — to improve learning outcomes and increase access for vulnerable students in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The initiative aims to generate new, Southern-led evidence on Edtech priorities for public education to support the adoption and scaling of learning-centred innovations and foster policies that enable Edtech to deliver on its potential in LMICs.
This project aims to improve the use of educational technology in Vietnam’s schools. It will assess how well current digital transformation policies are implemented at different management levels by collecting feedback from educational managers and experts on the current use of technology, identifying gaps and offering recommendations to improve integration. It will then develop and deliver a training course for school leaders, measuring its effectiveness in improving technology use. The findings will provide valuable insights for policymakers, administrators and educators, supporting efforts to enhance technology use in Vietnam's education system and improve teaching and learning quality nationwide.
