Section 5.1 considered the important issues and challenges that ICT policymakers and implementers have to consider to ensure success. Careful and thoughtful planning will take into account both the social and infrastructural milieu in to which technologies are brought. They include at least six elements: policy; implementation approach; infrastructure; skills; budget; and integration. The educational system in Malaysia has benefitted from a well constructed National ICT Roadmap which permitted the Ministry of Education to move forward with their efforts through a seven stage planning and implementation cycle. Such a cycle provided for monitoring and evaluation of ICT projects to learn from past mistakes as new roll outs are initiated.
