Rural Access To Education Through Digital Media, a pilot education technology project in
Tipling, Nepal. Beginning with an analysis of the relevant socioeconomic factors affecting
school attainment nationally and those affecting Tipling in particular; the current challenges to
formal and informal education are identified. The considerable potential of digital media and
ICTs to address long-standing issues of access to both childhood and adult learning and thereby
contribute to international development and education reform efforts are explored. Key project
considerations and challenges are discussed along with project outcomes.
