Abstract | Organized in three parts, this paper examines rationales for introducing computers into schools and universities in African countries and compares these rationales with those being advanced in industrial countries. Part 1 asks whether developing countries in Africa need computers and why, and supplies some answers. Part 2 looks critically and in detail at the main rationales for putting computers in schools. Lastly, part 3 looks at the experiences of four African countries: Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe. This review leads to two questions: what should happen next regarding computers in African schools and universities and what is going to happen next? A 50-item reference list is included.
