Why is ICT not being taught as separate subject in schools, asks Annamalai

The Hindu  

BJP State president K. Annamalai on Thursday questioned how many Information and Communication Technology Labs are functioning in government and government-aided schools in Tamil Nadu and why ICT was not being taught as a separate subject in the curriculum. In a statement, Mr. Annamalai said as per the provisions of the Samagra Shiksha scheme, students from Class VI to XII in government and government-aided schools should be taught ICT as a separate subject. Instead of teaching ICT as a separate subject in the curriculum, it was being taught in schools in Tamil Nadu as a part of Science. Further, Mr. Annamalai alleged that instead of appointing teachers who qualified Bachelor of Education to teach computer science, the State government had appointed volunteers of Illam Thedi Kalvi as ICT tutors.
