During the launching of the 2007-2008 edition at GK3 in December 2007 in Kuala Lumpur, participants were invited to invest money in different areas that they considered as important for engagement to influence change. The result was: Put more money in education! To this end, the overall theme of the 2009-2010 edition is devoted to ICT and education. We focus on the state of ICT deployment and innovation in basic education, non-formal education, distance education, capacity-building for education policymakers and practitioners, and private-public partnership in ICT for education.
