Status and role of ict in educational institution to build digital society in bangladesh: perspective of a divisional city, khulna

Education is one of the main keys to economic development and improvements in human welfare. As global competition grows sharper, education becomes an important source of competitive advantage and appears to be one of the key determinants of standardization of life. Information and communication technology (ICT) is playing a central role in the development of modern economies and societies. As the world is going through the technological revolution, adoption of new technologies in the education system is the most important. This has profound implications for education, both because ICT can facilitate new forms of learning and because it has become important for young people to master ICT in preparation for adult life. This study investigates current status of ICT in educational institutions and educational organization related activities and provides comprehensive recommendations to build a digital society in Bangladesh in the near future.
