Information Technology (IT) will be included for the G.C.E. Advanced Level as a subject from this year to enhance the knowledge in softaware of students. This follows a decision of Education Minister Susil Premajayantha.
Nearly 50,000 IT teachers have been trained by the Education Ministry and moves are afoot to increase the number up to 100,000. In addition, the Ministry will impart basic knowledge to teachers who are starved of computer knowledge..
From 2011; students will be able to answer the IT paper at the Advanced Level Examination for the first time.
However, the Education Ministry is exploring possibilities to convert the ‘Ruwanpura College of Education’ as a centre for training IT teachers since it has been reported that there is a shortage of IT teachers who can teach IT as an Advanced Level subject.
