Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
There is strong emphasis on ICT throughout the whole education sector. The purpose of ICT in education is to contribute to a system of education that develops ICT and uses it as a subject and a tool, in the way it is being organised, applied and used pedagogically. It is a key tool in achieving
- general access to relevant and new knowledge
- equal opportunities in acquiring expertise in and access to ICT, irrespective of gender, address and social situation
- flexible and user-friendly learning opportunities
- new forms of cooperation, work, learning and assessment, nationally and internationally, to provide individuals who have learning difficulties with the opportunity to improve their quality of life, learning and participation in communal and working life.
