"This volume provides an overall summary of the lessons learned during the implementation of the UNESCO SchoolNet project, “Strengthening the Use of ICT in Schools and SchoolNet in the ASEAN Context”, which was funded by Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT) and the ASEAN Foundation. The UNESCO SchoolNet project succeeded in initiating new national SchoolNets, or strengthening existing SchoolNets, in eight member-countries of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN); namely, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The project also implemented innovative methods of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools and provided various types of training for teachers in the participating schools."
