ICT tools for improving transparency and accountability in education
For example:
- Digital platforms for tracking school budgets and spending can ensure that funds are used appropriately
- Mobile applications can facilitate real-time monitoring of school infrastructure and resource allocation
- Artificial Intelligence can lead to a more transparent and equitable assignment of teachers and pupils to schools
- Online portals for reporting and addressing grievances allow for more efficient and transparent handling of issues related to education service delivery.
Those few examples illustrate the potential of digital tools to create more open and accountable education systems. However, documentation on this subject remains scarce.
That is why IIEP-UNESCO, in its role as a Global Learning Partner of the Education Out Loud (EOL) initiative, has begun mapping the landscape of relevant ICT initiatives. This was done through a literature review and a survey sent to all EOL grantees.
Thanks to this mapping, several resources are now available:
- A synthesis note detailing findings and best practices - forthcoming
- An interactive map showcasing country-specific initiatives is featured below.
