This document presents a framework for analyzing alternative policies for integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into education. It outlines four strategic policy rationales for ICT in education: supporting economic growth, promoting social development, advancing education reform, and supporting education management. It also describes five operational policy components: infrastructure development, teacher training, technical support, pedagogical/curricular change, and content development. The document provides examples of countries that have combined rationales and used them to guide the formulation of national ICT plans in education.
