Reaching the Unreached

ICTs and Adult Education for the Empowerment of Rural Women

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Though the contribution of rural women to development is tremendous, support for them has been overlooked for far too long. The book explores the situation of rural women and the various measures that have been taken to support them. Based on case studies from Ghana, the book looks at two critical tools - Adult Education and Information, and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for enhancement of rural women. It is anticipated that if the full potential of Adult Education is harnessed and the ICTs as an educational media is fully utilized, rural women will not continue to be educationally and digitally divided from their urban counterparts.
