The first African ministerial round table on ICT for education, training and development also identified the need to involve corporate organisations.
"ICTs are seen as one key solution that will allow African countries to meet the needs in rural and under-served areas and bring education to their citizens rapidly and cost efficiently," ministers said.
Prof George Saitoti, who read the statement, said the priority areas to be attended to include development of national digital curricular and expansion of the national connectivity network.
