Programs

  • Computer Aided Learning (CAL)

    District

    A pedagogical approach called computer-aided learning (CAL) integrates information technologies into or alongside conventional classroom settings. Among the best examples of computer-aided learning are interactive training courses and educational computer games. As supplemental materials, these learning aids create a more personalised, interesting, and informative learning environment that facilitates understanding challenging or novel concepts, builds learning competencies, and makes early childhood education more pleasurable, inadvertently sparking children's interest in learning and education. Our historical experiences over the years indicate that it also assisted in lowering the elementary school dropout rate and increasing enrolment. More significantly, computer-aided learning exposes elementary school students to information technology at a young age in a suitable manner.

  • Digital Literacy as Life Skill (DLLS)

    District

    A digitally literate individual has the talents, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform well in digital settings. The ability to appropriately and ethically access, analyse, create, and distribute information is another aspect of being digitally literate. The 21st-century economy and society are becoming more dependent on digital technology. To succeed in the modern global economy and open democratic society, one must be digitally literate. Digital literacy is therefore referred to as a life skill. Our goal is to impart to secondary school pupils the knowledge and skills necessary to use IT technologies daily. Our curriculum is project-based and focuses on using software, the Internet, and communication tools in daily life.
