Survey of ICT and Education in Africa : Guinea Country Report

This short country report, a result of larger Information for Development Program (infoDev)-supported survey of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. Guinea has begun the implementation of ICT in the tertiary education sector in collaboration with donors. Donor efforts have also recorded significant impact on the primary and secondary education sectors. Specifically, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has assisted Guinea under the Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) programme and launched other initiatives jointly with some state organizations. Poor electrification and telecommunication infrastructure, however, hinders the process. Connectivity is limited to certain urban areas and power supply is at best irregular even in the administrative region in the capital city, Conakry, where the ministries and principal organs of state are located. This phenomenon among others presents challenges to the deployment of ICTs across the country, particularly in the education sector.
