This chapter discusses how education systems and schools are integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into students’ learning experiences, and examines trends since 2009. It provides an overview of country differences in schools’ ICT resources and how these are related to computer use; and it shows how the use of ICT in school not only depends on its availability, but on policies related to teachers and curricula.

This chapter investigates how education systems and schools are integrating ICT into students’ learning experiences, and examines changes since 2009. It provides an overview of country differences in schools’ ICT resources and how these are related to computer use. It shows that the use of ICT clearly depends on the availability of adequate infrastructure – equipping schools with more and better ICT resources – but is also related to the wider context shaped by teacher and curricular policies.
