| description | Since its creation over 25 years ago,
the Omar Dengo Foundation (ODF) has played a critical role
in developments related to use of educational technologies
in schools in Costa Rica. The integration of technology in
Costa Rican public schools took off in 1987 with the
creation by the Ministry of Public Education of the National
Program of Educational Informatics, which became the
flagship program of the newly created Omar Dengo Foundation.
This paper explores the development of ODF as a key partner
institution to the Costa Rican Ministry of Public Education
and how changes in key legislation went hand-in-hand with
ODF's growth and impact. It explores key lessons
learned for policymakers looking for insights on how an
external ICT/education agency can work productively in
collaboration with the Ministry of Public Education and
other government agencies to serve as main implementation
agency for a large scale, national ICT in education initiative. |
