THERE is too much hype over the ban of paid IT literary classes in Chinese primary schools by the Education Ministry. To me, the fear that some parents have that IT literacy classes will be taken away from their children is clearly unfounded. The 93-year-old Father of ICT knows exactly what he meant when he said he wants to introduce the use of ICT into the school curriculum. There will be no problem for the Education Ministry to incorporate ICT into the learning experience of our young ones. Whatever the excuses are to use external trainers, most younger teachers can easily handle ICT classes if these classes need to be held.
