An implementation readiness framework for education systems: Integrating ICT into teaching and learning

Sometimes ICT for education projects fail because the system itself is not ready for change. Traditional e-readiness tools employed in technology rollouts at schools focus on the readiness of the schools themselves, without looking at the full value chain. The implementation readiness tool was developed based on learning from ICT4RED and other ICT implementations in schools. It builds on the ICT4RED 12 Component Implementation Model and takes a systems-based approach to ensuring readiness throughout the system - looking at donor, participant and target systems to identify particular aspects that need to be measured and made provision for in ICT for Education (and ICT for Development) interventions.
