Information and communication technology (ICT) has become, within a
very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society. Many
countries now regard understanding ICT and mastering the basic skills and
concepts of ICT as part of the core of education, alongside reading, writing
and numeracy.
This book deals with ICT in secondary schools, and with the changing
competencies required of both students and teachers if they are to
function effectively in today's society. It specifies an ICT curriculum for
secondary schools, and outlines an accompanying programme of teacher
development to implement such a curriculum.
