Education Policy
Remember, when you are creating activities, all the educational experiences must not only motivate learners and help them to achieve worthwhile learning outcomes, but also work towards achieving national objectives and priorities. See some examples of various national objectives and priorities below.

- To improve the competitiveness of existing industries and to facilitate the sustainable development of new enterprises, thereby supporting economic diversification;
Teachers should be able to explain the principles of using ICT in education, describe how these principles can be put into practice, analyse the issues that arise in implementing these principles and how the issues can be addressed (KD.1.a).
