MUSCAT: The Call has been launched for nominations for the 2017 edition of the Unesco King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa Prize, and the theme for this edition of the Prize is the use of ICTs to increase access to quality education.


The Unesco King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa Prize for the use of ICTs in Education, funded and established since 2005 by Bahrain, rewards individuals, institutions, and Non-Governmental Organizations for projects and activities which demonstrate best practices in, and creative use of, ICTs to enhance learning, teaching and overall educational performance.


It is Unesco’s only prize in the field of ICT in education and seeks to recognise the organisations and individuals that are embracing ICT as pedagogical ally and, in turn, make learning more effective.


While acknowledging the importance of teaching innovations supported or enabled by ICT, it is essential that innovations ensure the security of children and promote the values and attitudes that are relevant to the building of sustainable and peaceful societies.


The deadline for submission of all nomination files is October 20, via www.unesco.org/ict-ed-prize/register
