Digital
technologies have spread rapidly in much of the world and the use of ICT has become
more important in everyone’s daily life. Digital technologies also have the
potential to boost improved service delivery in education. Using ICT in Palestinian
classrooms has become an important tool to enhance student-centered learning.
Furthermore, it allows students to acquire 21st century skills.
From 2011
till 2015, the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education and the
Belgian Development Cooperation have implemented an E-learning project in 300
pilot schools to introduce the use of ICT in the classroom.
One project
component focused on providing upstream policy-advice based on a large Action
Research to learn from the pilots supported by the project. The Action Research
was conducted in 2014-15 by a consortium of the Open University of Cyprus and
the Al-Quds Open University.
The Action
research resulted in the following 6 Policy Papers with clear policy
recommendations on all aspects of ICT in schools and digitalizing education.
