This short handbook provides guidance for policymakers struggling with two key issues: - What is the impact on student achievement of introducing ICTs in educational settings in developing countries? - How should this impact be measured, and what are the related issues, especially as they relate to Education For All and other Millennium Development Goals?

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are widely believed to be important potential levers to introduce and sustain education reform efforts. Despite evidence of increasingly widespread use of ICTs in education initiatives around the world, however, there is little guidance available for policy makers and donor staff specifically targeted at countries contemplating the use of ICTs to help countries meet the education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
