Abstract

Education has been pointed out as the single most fundamental pillar in driving development. However, this may not be possible unless if quality and equitable education are not offered. Quality education must be able to meet the diverse needs of learners, such as cultural way of life (for instance, pastoralist and nomadic), poverty levels, and others. How would a poor child living in the remote Kenya whose parents survive entirely on pastoralism be able to get an equitable and quality education similar to a student in a boarding school in the city? This chapter illustrates the need for ICT adoption to bridge the education gap in rural and urban settings. Specific focus is on bridging the digital divide, developing digital content, and adopting cloud computing.
