Abstract
People frequently use Information and Communication Technology (ICT), but are the users from developing countries only expensive consumers? To what extend is ICT education and its applications used for meeting the needs of society and the opportunities of development? Contextualization is a key term designed to make ICT and computer science (CS) content more familiar, understandable and applicable. It is intended to meet the local needs. This paper focuses on the different impact levels of technological development projects and ICT and CS education. We present a conference review of existing research on contextual approaches of CS and ICT education in Africa, and introduce a contextual and sustainable approach in ICT education in developing countries. A review of six international CS education and ICT conferences during 2005-2006 hold little Africa related contextualized CS and higher level ICT education issues have been studied and reported. The study shows that there is a serious lack of research into contextualized CSE, and higher level ICT education in Africa.
