Abstract
The paper examines ICT systems in education, including teacher training and education policy.
A proposed increase in the spending on ICTs in education from less than 1,000 crores in the 10th Five-Year Plan to more than 6,000 crores in the 11th Plan by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) reflects an urgency to harness ICTs for systemic change in the education sector in India. To understand the emerging scenario for implications for education, including aspects relating to equity and social justice, a progressive policy is needed that would inform programs initiated by the Government and other institutions.
