Abstract
This paper identifies and analyzes the infrastructural and policy barriers that may prevent the adoption of technology-intensive education systems, specifically Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). It thus provides actionable insights on bridging infrastructure gaps in under-resourced regions. The study is relevant to education policy and technology adoption and addresses the challenges in the equitable access of advanced educational tools. Using the strategic analysis approach, the research collected information from the interview with policymakers, educators, and technology providers. Some of the activities included mapping the existing infrastructure, identification of critical bottlenecks, and formulation of targeted solutions. The preliminary findings point to severe funding, connectivity, and teacher training gaps as a precursor for a call to coordination of these issues. The study concludes that both public-private partnerships and policy reforms are indispensable to foster access to education in AR/VR technology.
