ICT Education Project factsheet (2020)
August 12, 2021
The status of education in Oé-Cusse is affected by a lack of skills education in high schools,
insufficient educational materials in the national language (Tetum), and access to ICT learning
and equipment. These challenges pose a significant barrier to achieving the country’s
development goals. The "Leveraging ICT to Improve Education and Skills in Timor-Leste" project
began in May of 2019 and is scheduled for completion in May 2021. The general objective is to
improve primary and secondary education by providing children and young people in Oé-Cusse
with ICT skills and knowledge.
