Technology seen as path to equal education for all

China has made great progress in using information, communication and technology in the field of education, experts attending a major conference agreed.

Smriti Irani, India's minister of human resource development, said she was pleased to see the initiatives taken by the Chinese government to use ICT in its remote and smallest schools.

"That is something of great interest to me," she said while attending the International Conference on ICT and Post-2015 Education.
