Summary:ICT has profound implications for education, both because ICT can facilitate new forms of learning and because it has become important for young people to master ICT in preparation for adult life. But how extensive is access to ICT in schools and informal settings and how is it used by students? Drawing on data from the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Are Students Ready for a Technology-Rich World?
