Digital Literacy and ICT

Having described a vision of how teachers, pupils, parents and other Education Services staff are likely to use technology in the future, the programme will take forward the key components identified to enable the realisation of the vision and benefits.

Effective Learning

 Pupils will be provided with increased choice, convenience and personalisation to suit their needs. Effective Learning provides learners and teachers with choices about where, when and how learning occurs.
