Enhancing the Quality of Educational System Using ICT

Abstract

There is a continuous decline in educational system due to the primitive way of teaching in schools as a result of growth in technology. However, no one can deny the impact which Information and Communication Technology (ICT) continues to have on almost every aspect of our daily lives, or the speed with which new developments are adopted. ICT can contribute to universal access and equity in education, delivery of quality learning and teaching, professional development of teachers, and more efficient educational management, governance and administration. It has the potential to transform the nature and process of the learning environment and visualize a new learning culture. Interactively, flexibility and convenience have become the order of the day in the ICT supported environment. ICT helps students share resources and learning spaces, promote focused and collaborative learning principles by enhancing critical thinking, creative thinking and problem solving skills. ICT based education is definitely the direction towards which the whole world is progressing to. This paper thus attempts to propose ways by which ICT will be used in different ways to enhance quality of education.
