Why ICT/Computer Skills has become more important these days?
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is important to become part of today's education because it enables your children to search for the information they need and to organize what they have found. As they progress through the school system from primary to secondary, they become increasingly responsible for their own learning.

How can they use computer in their learning?
Students can create graphs using mathematical data. Using the Internet, students can access photographs of great art, listen to important recordings, research topics for reports and communicate via email. With the proper skills, they will know which tool to use to complete projects given to them in schools.

Other Plus Points!
ICT helps students to achieve better results in other subjects and to find what they need and use information in particular ways. It is important that children become familiar with ICT at an early age, because they will need those skills for the remainder of their education and in adult life.
Yes, it does help to increase self-esteem

• Teachers report that students with computers in the classroom show an increased sense of competence by mastering technology, according to the U.S. Department of Education. They get excited about coming to school. Students who show less aptitude or ability for traditional academic tasks often find satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from working with technology.
