ICT Subject Overview
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is now part of the educational
experience of learners in most parts of the world. Taught as either a discrete
subject or embedded within the framework, ICT is regarded as a new ‘literacy’,
alongside reading, writing and numeracy.
ICT framework is designed to introduce learners to the key ICT applications they
need to acquire to understand the impact of technology on our daily lives.
The syllabus provides a framework in which ICT competence and practical skills
can be developed within an environment that is appropriate for the age of the
students together with a structured scheme of assessment. Modules can be
delivered according to the needs of each learning situation – across the

Main strands of the program offered are:
- Demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and
operations.
- Demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge and develop innovative
products and processes using technology.
- Work collaboratively, to support individual learning and to contribute to the
learning of others.
- Use appropriate technology to gather, evaluate and use data and/or information
in order to plan and conduct research or inquiry.
