Does ICT effectively contribute to the delivery of mass education in developing countries?

The effectiveness of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in its contribution towards the mass education of people in developing countries is questionable. We begin with a model that defines the desirable outcomes in society with ICT being effective in its contribution. Our literature review will show that the common understanding of the value-added services of ICT in education is somewhat questionable as we consider the 3 key areas in ICT's contribution to mass education. Empirical data is collected to find out if ICT can really effectively contribute to the delivery of mass education in developing countries. The results conclude that there is indeed a lack of focus and system in place on measuring the effectiveness of ICT in educational content delivery for students in developing countries.
