Text Importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) education. Author: Richel Fox Education is termed as one of the basic requirements on which great nations are built. It is an investment that takes its time to pay dividends but, according to economists, education generates the highest returns when compared to any other avenues where resources can be committed. In developing countries, where a large population lives at subsistence levels, primary education is a major tool for enriching human capital. At the primary level, young minds are enlightened to accept new ideas, show creativity, develop critical thinking and above all, enable themselves to absorb surrounding information for informed decision-making at any later stage in life. In this regard, computer studies or ICT becomes immensely important. How essential is ICT or computer education at the primary level? This question is worth exploring given that our children are growing up in an information age — and not in an industrial age. The argument that we are so underdeveloped and devoid of basic infrastructure that we cannot even afford to think about computers is not very valid any more. With decreasing cost and increasing usability of desktop PCs – which in fact face the threat of extinction at the hands of laptops – has turned the situation from bleak to bright. It is now a matter of choice, rather than availability to introduce ICT at primary school level — at least in the urban areas. Here, it is important to note that there are two very different and distinct aspects of ICT in education. One is teaching ICT itself, and the second is using ICT as an augmented tool to the existing teaching methods which is more important, it will be very useful if the people study from MCSE, CCNA, CompTIA, IBM, Ctirix, and more exams the best site I recommend is Testkingdom.com they provide the best IT training material i have taken my exams and pass with 85% numbers This second aspect can be extended further by making computers available to children at home for work and play both, so that the digital divided can be bridged and natural disadvantage of underprivileged children (without the means of acquiring equal education and a computer) can be neutralized. This is the philosophy behind projects such as One Laptop Per Child (OLPC).
