The Sri Lankan Education Ministry has launched an ICT program for senior and junior school students. An extensive plan for IT development in the school system is presently being developed for implementation from 2005 - 2010.
Teaching General Information Technology in the Advanced Level classes will be strengthened with a new national examination (scheduled for August this year) for Grade 12 students. Besides, IT as an optional will be introduced at the Ordinary Level from January 2006.
As part of the strategy, all the Navodya and National schools will have computers and and CD packs in their activity rooms. For primary school students, Science/Maths Corners will be introduced where ICT concepts will be taught through special learning packages.
The Ministry of Education has invited content providers from the
non-government and corporate sectors to contribute towards Ministry's efforts in the preparation of teaching-learning materials in all subjects in the primary and secondary school
system, using IT as a learning tool.
