  1. Technology in Education and Lifelong Learning Gwang-Jo Kim World Bank China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  2. Outline • Lifelong Learning (LLL) • ICT and Development • ICT and WB’s Education Projects • Issues and Implications China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  3. Then Information based Rote learning Teacher directed Just in case Formal education only Directive based Learn at a given age Terminal education Now Knowledge creation/application Analysis and synthesis Collaborative learning Just in time Variety of learning modes Initiative based Incentives, motivation to learn Lifelong learning Learning in the Knowledge Economy China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  4. A System of Lifelong Learning • Align system around learner needs/incentives • Raise quality by changing content (core skills), pedagogy and recognition system • Develop variety of financing mechanisms: equitable, affordable, sustainable, market-based • Articulate cross-Ministerial, lifelong learning strategy while building diverse partnerships China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  5. Global Education Market • Total: US $ 2.2 trillion (2003) * Global GNI in 2001 : US $30 trillion • one third of market in USA • approx 15% only in the developing world • 20% of world’s 6 billion enrolled in some form of education • 5% of global labor force in teaching profession China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  6. E-learning Market • Grown from $4.3bn (2000) to $7bn (2003) • Distance education students represent 15% of all higher education students • Fastest growth subsector is tertiary education - Asia (3.5m), Europe (0.9m), LAC (1m),.. • In US, 19% of corporate training was on-line in 2002 • Involvement of private sector (Cisco, Oracle, IBM,Virgin) 2.5 million certificates China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  7. Demand Rapid obsolescence of knowledge & training Need just-in-time training delivery Search for cost-effective ways of meeting learning needs Skills gap & demographic changes - new learning models Demand for flexible access to lifelong learning Supply Internet access becoming standard at work & home Advances in digital tech. - interactive, rich content Broadband & better delivery make e-learning attractive Growing selection of high-quality e-learning Technology standards facilitate compatibility & usability Factors Driving E-Learning China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  8. Limitations of Technology for Learning • Wireless access to information misses problem • Not information that is lacking • Acquisition of important experience • Most e-learning is attempt to put books on a computer interrupted by a multiple choice test (Roger Schank) • Learning software puts dull materials on a web page China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  9. Technology in WB’s Education Projects • Access, quality, capacity building, knowledge sharing • Lending Programs with ICT components • Non-lending analytic and advisory work: Country knowledge assessment and implications for education sector China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  10. 10 Years Ago • Type of technologies: textbooks, audio-visual aides, radio, TV/video, micro-computers • Primary schools: serving existing students • Secondary and higher: distance education • VTE: initial phase of adoption • Barriers to implementation: technological environment, administration capacity, political receptivity (sustainability) China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  11. Now • Type of technologies: Education technology (PCs, Internet, connectivity, VC..), distance education and EMIS • 76% of new education projects include technology component - 40% of new dollar lending • Distance education proportion: 57% • Most common mode: putting computers and H/W • Too much “expectation” rather than barriers - Jordan, Mauritius China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  12. 2000 $835 1998 $644 Education Technology Lending $millions 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  13. Technology Components in WB’s Education Projects China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  14. Technology Component Breakdown China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  15. Challenges of Technology in LLL • Policy framework: skills, pedagogy, governance arrangement (articulation, recognition), financing strategies • Costs: highest in the least developed world • Benefits: what counts is usage not availability (PISA) • “…cost a lot and accomplish little.” China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea

  16. Some Reflections • LLL demands more but “smarter” investment in education technology • Expectation is high; impact has yet to be demonstrated • Better tracking of education technology programs in the context of LLL and KE is needed China-Korea Workshop on LLL (WBI-KRIVET), Seoul, Korea
