Nepal’s EdTech Landscape - Baseline Technical Note Utilizing the EdTech Readiness Index

Overview & Synopsis

The EdTech Readiness Index (ETRI) is a global multi-dimensional tool that collects country level data about the extent to which education and technology (EdTech) is integrated into the broader education system (policies and practices). The goal of the ETRI is to offer a rich source of information to key organizations operating within the country such as the ministry of education, multilateral organizations, and local administrations making investments in EdTech to: (a) identify good practices and areas where EdTech policies can be further strengthened, and (b) monitor progress and the status of EdTech implementation as countries take action. The ETRI goes beyond measuring the availability of devices and the level of connectivity to capture key elements of the larger educationtechnology ecosystem in a country, guiding efforts to reduce inequalities and increase learning opportunities. The global nature of the instrument allows for benchmarking and to set targets that are globally comparable.
