ICT Education (B.Sc.)
About this programme
The ICT Education (ICTE) programme is designed to improve standards in the development and applications of ICT in all aspects of the educational system and processes. In making effective choices about when and how to use ICT to improve teaching and learning, the crucial issue is how teachers can harness ICT effectively for the achievement of instructional, learning and institutional goals. The Department of ICT Education has as its over-riding goal the training of educators that are competent, knowledgeable, and skillful in the use of appropriate ICT tools and are imbued with technical and interpersonal communication skills and ethics. Pedagogical integration of ICT tools in alignment with student-led instructional strategies and infusion of ICT into the curriculum will be the focus of this programme.
