A Conceptual Framework for ICT Policy Development in Myanmar Education Sector

The development of ICT for Education in Myanmar is crucial for digital education transformation and sustainable development to be in line with the targets of the National Education Policy and Global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) goal-4 commitment. The paper argues for the compliance of ICT Policy in Myanmar Education sector by measuring ICT access, ICT use and skills, and ICT impact for Myanmar Digital Education Transformation and reaching the national sustainable development education goal. In recognition of Myanmar education reform, this has challenges to reach the objective of National Education Law and SDG-4 to apply the modern technology in education and quality education because ICT for Education policy development and digital technology investments are not ready in Myanmar Education. This paper draws on the international practice of ITU-ICT Development Index (IDI) and SABER ICT policy framework for developing the conceptual framework on National ICT policy development in Myanmar Education sector.
