Abstract
Following the World Summits on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva (2003) and Tunis 2005), the Partnership for Measuring ICT for Development was formed to develop comparable data and indicators for monitoring WSIS goals. The Partnership comprises Eurostat, ITU, OECD, UNCTAD, UNDESA, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), UN Regional Commissions (UNECLAC, UNESCWA, UNESCAP and UNECA) and the World Bank. Within this framework, the primary assignment of the UIS is to lead the Task Force responsible for developing indicators on information and communication technologies (ICT) use in education. In February 2009, the UIS submitted an initial core set of ICT in education indicators to the 40th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission.
