training college.
The project has 3 focus points; a) Skilling the teachers and Tutors with necessary ICT skills to improve the
teaching-learning process).Work with the administrators of the schools and PTC
to support the teaching process using ICT innovations and c).work with the
management committee to develop policies that support the new innovations as
mentioned. Thus the end result works in the dimension of teachers (to develop
the mind set), learners (to improve the learning ability and concentration
level) and the administration of the schools (to easy the process of monitoring
and administration).The equipment that were given out are thus meant to aid
this dimension in order to achieve the intended i.e. aid the process of
teaching and help to develop the mindset of the teachers and the learners.

that this is the good way with new direction and tools to be used to support
learning in schools. It will move our teachers from rural setup mind of
teaching to modern creative teaching. Its more learner centered innovation that
will reduce laziness from the teachers and improve the learning abilities. The
school management committee pledge to support the school administration in
