Indicator Summary
The indicator “Number of Teachers Trained in Use of Computer and Teaching through Computer” is a crucial measure of the education system’s readiness to deliver technology-enabled learning. Teacher capacity is central to effective digital education, and access to computers alone is insufficient without trained educators who can integrate technology into pedagogy. Teachers trained in computer use can enhance classroom instruction through digital content, interactive tools, and multimedia resources that improve student engagement and understanding. Computer-based teaching supports personalized learning, allows for differentiated instruction, and helps address diverse learning needs. It also enables teachers to use online assessments, learning management systems, and data-driven methods to track student progress more effectively.
From a systemic perspective, digitally trained teachers are essential for implementing national digital education initiatives, blended learning models, and remote or hybrid instruction during disruptions such as natural disasters or public health emergencies. They also play a key role in developing students’ digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, which are increasingly important in modern economies. At a policy and planning level, this indicator helps assess the scale and distribution of digital teaching capacity across regions and school types. Monitoring the number of teachers trained in computer-based teaching supports targeted investments in professional development, identifies gaps in training coverage, and strengthens the overall quality, resilience, and inclusiveness of the education system.
