Computer Education

Computer education develops the knowledge, skill and experience of studee
regarding computer as well as ICT (information, communicatiom technotogy). In
other words, ICT education is a digital literacy program with valuable knnl-
edge and skills about computer and communication devices, software, applira-
tions and systems that are built with them. In the 21st century, an ability to work
with ICT is becoming as essential in every walk of life. Therefore, computer edu
cation is considered as basic skill to be taught to all students
Use of computer has been increased in every sector. Financial services,
industries, robotics, property management (control of heating, cooling, lighting
CCTV, electricity distribution) customer billing and smart meter-reading
systems, telecommunications, cable TV, education, research are based on com-
puter and their extensive use.
egovernance, m-banking, m-learning, m-governance are some examples of use
of computer and digital technology. Without the use of computer and ICTS, our
life seems to be impossible these days. Therefore, with the aim of familiarizing
and developing the positive knowledge, skills and attitudes on modern develop
ment of information technology, this subject has been included in the secondary
level curriculum (Grade 9 and 10) as optional subject. It is the foundation counse
for optional paper for grade 11 and 12. Though it is optional, it is compulsory in
practice in almost all schools because it contributes to make life happy and quali-
tative with ability to solve digital problems. This course covers basic knowledge
and skills on computer fundamentals, operating system, windows, concept of
webpage (HTML) and programming skills in QBASIC and introduction of C
