Mechanism


Perspective-Teachers

Unappealing Curriculum

Rush to meet curriculum Deadlines


Need of the hour

Innovative content to make learning an

exciting experience.

In order that the computer

revolution is all-pervasive we need to catch

students young.

Emphasis on teacher training

and content development in

the local language.


Problems

A Digital Divide exists between rural and urban

schools.

In India, less than 10% of all schools have computers.

Emphasis is largely on

acquiring the skills for its usage

rather on the concepts.

Little deliberation on the course

content and the methodology best suited to

teach it.
