ICT Plans for 2013/14

Date : 15 May 2013

Venue : PELT Meeting @ JHB Central District

Reflection on Legislative Framework• White Paper on e-Education (2004): “Every SA Learner in GET & FET

bands will be able to use ICTs confidently & creatively to help develop skills & knowledge they need to achieve personal goals and to be full participants in the global community by 2013”

• Policy objectives towards the achievement of e-Education Goals:– Access to ICT infrastructure– Connectivity– ICT Professional Development– Digital Content Development– Community involvement– Research and development

Situational Analysis & Current Status: National Perspective

• Challenges:– Majority of schools across provinces are not yet at a

reasonable state of e-Readiness and awareness for the effective implementation of ICTs

– The system has relatively under developed digital teaching & learning resources

– The current level of ICT infrastructure provision to schools, including internet is largely dependant on the capacity of respective provinces and as result very low

– Teacher competencies & confidentiality on ICT integration still low
