Dubai Cares, in partnership with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), committed to demonstrating the efficacy of Information & Communications Technology (ICT) in improving learning outcomes in primary education through the use of technology. The program focused on testing and validating models and methods that were cost-effective, efficient, and relevant to help the government advance its ambitions and plans for ICT capacity and integration in schools nationwide. The initiative ensured the implementation of effective, scalable approaches to mainstream ICT in teachers’ professional development, while also supporting and guiding them in applying technology in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning. It expanded access in primary schools to appropriate ICT hardware and software, alongside contextually relevant and scalable digital content. In addition, it introduced cost-effective and scalable strategies to strengthen the capacity of local education agents and officers, enabling them to use ICT-enabled systems to provide regular mentoring and support to teachers, as well as monitor school performance and progress.
