Beyond policy: Strategic actions to support ICT integration in Japanese schools

The paper begins with a summary of a technology-based education policy in Singapore. Singapore was selected due to its continuing financial investment in information technologies for business,government,education and society. Singapore also provides a unique model for Asian education ministries seeking to adopt,adapt and transform traditional practices with ‘westernised’ approaches to teaching and learning. Several observations from the Singapore model are used to suggest strategic actions for Japan. A summary of the attempts of policymakers in Japan to develop an education system that integrates technology is then provided.
