Ict And Its’ Role In Primary Mathematics Education

We live in a dynamic society with knowledge increasing at an unpredictable rate. With the accompanying advance in technology, developing countries are no longer insulated from the effects of these changes, as evidenced by the extent to which the whole world is fast becoming a global village with constant interaction on many levels. One goal of education is the preparation of the young not only for this changed world, but also with the willingness and ability to face new and changing situations. Social, economic, and technological changes of the past decades are making education and training for all more crucial than ever. Yet, educational systems, to different degrees worldwide, are struggling to afford educational opportunities for all, to provide their graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills for evolving marketplaces and sophisticated living environments, and to prepare citizens for lifelong learning. To meet these challenges, countries have to focus concurrently on expanding access, improving internal efficiency, promoting the quality of teaching and learning right from the elementary level, and improving system management.
