FAQ1. What is the rationale for introducing ICT into the
education system? How does ICT benefit pupils’ learning?
2. Will pupils from less privileged families be penalized by the increased focus on ICT? How is HGS supporting these pupils and families?
3. Cyber addiction/addiction to computer games and the ill effects of over-exposure to ICT devices are increasingly issues of concern. Wouldn’t the introduction of ICT in classes and easy access to computers worsen the problem?
