The survey presents the results of the statistical research "Indicators of ICT Application in Secondary Education" undertaken within the framework of the UNESCO IITE sub-regional project for South-Eastern Europe "Information and Communication Technologies for the Development of Education and the Construction of a Knowledge Society."

Nine countries from the region were involved in the project: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRO Macedonia), Republic of Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, and Turkey.

The questionnaire for the survey was based on a system of indicators reflecting necessary conditions of education quality. It included questions concerning national ICT policy and action plan; financial support; educational target groups; ICT curriculum, computer equipment, and ICT school staff.

The report presents the specialized comparative research exploring the state-of-art of Informatics/ICTs and ICT applications in other subjects in schools from the South-East European region. After the analysis of the data collected, the following recommendations to the educational policy and decision makers were made:

• To strengthen the national policies, action plans, and ways of implementation in their variety and complexity, taking advantages of the approaches of the other countries of this project;
• To track the process of changes in other European countries in the field of Informatics/ICT education and integration of ICTs into different subjects and to hold the line of drawing closer to European education;
• To provide similar research at the national level regularly and to improve the situation;
• To promote national curricula for both Informatics/ICTs and for integration of ICTs in other subjects;
• To support national curricula with a variety of educational software;

To disseminate the best national and international practices in schools.
