Analysis of ICT impact on Education

Abstract

ICT Stands for "Information and Communication Technologies." It refers to technologies that offer access
to data through telecommunications. It is a term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing:
radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as
the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. To
understand the current scenario of ICT on Education we conducted a survey on Internet from schools across 9 states of
India. The survey was conducted with the help of Survey Monkeys, an online survey portal.
Based on over 1000 responses from students, teachers and head Masters from 9 states collected and analysed during the
school year 2014-15, the Survey of Schools: ICT in Education provides detailed, up-to-date and reliable benchmarking
of Information and Communication Technologies in school level education across India, painting a picture of
educational technology in schools: from infrastructure provision to use, confidence and attitudes.
The purpose of this paper is to understand the current scenario and factors related to policy, planning, technical
requirements as well as the training required for the teachers for the successful implementation of ICT in an educational
system
