Kerala to set up 140 model ICT schools

By Anshupriya Jha | 20 August 2011

Kerala will implement a Model ICT school programme in selected high schools in all the 140 constituencies across the State.

IT@School project Executive Director K. Anvar Sadath has said that five classrooms in each of these selected schools will be equipped with ICT tools such as laptops and multi-media projectors.

Aimed at enhancing the teaching as well as the learning process in the schools, the programme is meant to equip both the teachers and the students to extract the maximum possible benefit of available ICT infrastructure in schools. It will help these selected schools become the knowledge hub and a model school in their respective Assembly constituencies for other schools to emulate.

Each teacher in these model schools will be trained in using Information Technology to enable them to develop digital content and interactive tools for imparting lessons. They will also upload all such content to a common online repository. Subject-wise ICT training will also be provided to the teachers.

The long-term goals include bringing more and more schools in the Model ICT schools ambit and provide a platform for the stakeholders to come up with innovative models of ICT-enabled initiatives in education.

The programme envisages active participation of School IT Coordinators (SITC) and Students School IT Coordinators (SSITC) for content generation and sharing. It will help schools share information to the benefit of students. It will also have a School Management Software with a database of all information about teachers and students which will help keep a track of activities and generate accurate reports.
