ICT Policcies and Strategeis

There are lots of countries has been progressive with the use of ICT for effective learning and it can help spreading/broadening the delivery of education and it also can help increase the capability of the teacher to effectively way in learning in school and also for the student to gain more or advance knowledge and to develop their order thinking skill and as a whole individual person it can be develop better or deep understanding. In my own insight regarding ICT of Australia, Hongkong's, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand which is designed primarily for easier communication used for efficiency and effective learning approach that helps the student, gain more and advance knowledge with the use of ICT.

New Zealand have been developing use of ICT by both the school sector and the technical/vocational and teacher, they also proposed the ICT schools cluster program in which cluster of school would support each other to incorporate the new technology both at a classroom and a whole table process. These program represents a creative departure from the traditional model of in service training where by teachers are taken out of the school for short period of training.

Australia the aim of Australia is to educate the student in integrating ICT policy as well as the student improve and remain their confident , creative thinking ad they are productive users of new technologies, particularly information and communication technologies.

Hongkong has also a progressive country as it said that ICT policy can benefit the community and enhance hongkong position as a leading digital. They are providing free computer with internet connection for public use at convenient locations, they are ensured that all residents have access to and to make meaningful use of computer facilities. It is advantage to be applied especially if they are offers on going education campaigns and training courses to help the public improve their skills and it is one way of transmitting and accessing of quick information from one place to another.

Malaysia also integrating ICT policy for educational purpose like what Australia implement but not only for those students can send to school but it is also for those students cannot provide to school or those under privileged children, they are providing programs connect to Orphanage and other NGO's to empower those indigenous children. It is measures include the enhancement of education and training programs provision of an environment conducive to the development of ICT.

Singapore they are underlying rationale behind the plan was that students needed to acquire skills such as the ability to think independently and creatively, to be competent and confident problem-solvers, and to be life-long learners. The use of Information Technology was seen as a means of preparing students with such skills, and it would thus be important to equip schools and teachers with the necessary infrastructure.

Phillipines can be more progressive than those said countries if the government official and all individual person involve on this programs will be united as one, will cooperate and be responsible enough in decision making especially in facing some risk/ problem of our country. We all know that Philippines are also integrating ICT Policy to educate Filipino student or as a whole individual person but some of those ICT Policy compared to the other country are not applicable/suited in the Philippine because of lock of funds/budget. Philippine government official should implement education expansion project in rural area especial those student far away from the urban area and also those elementary student must have the knowledge in using computers in order they can gain advance knowledge.
