The Rwanda Education Board (REB) has had a longstanding interest in utilizing ICT in its classrooms and education system more broadly. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated school closures have placed renewed and heightened emphasis on education ICT. Based on the request of the Director-General of the Rwanda Education Board (REB), this study investigates Rwandan teachers’ access to and understanding of ICT. Using phone surveys and an online survey embedded into REB’s e-learning platform, this study will inform REB’s immediate decision making in response to the crisis and also provide relevant information for the country’s new ICT in education policy.
