Abstract
Abstract:ICT in education has been considered a luxury in developing countries, where, particularly in least developed countries, emphasis was placed more on building schools and classrooms. In 2020, the view of ICT and its role changed radically. Firstly, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted ICT as a central tool. Secondly, the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and awareness of its enormous potential placed ICT in a new light. Together, these triggers of change can be embraced in order to integrate key learning modules and lessons to form appropriate skills into curricula in developing countries. Frontier fields in science and technology must be promoted and supported especially in the education sector in Africa and the developing world in general.
