Module 10 - Activity 6 (Plan of Action)



At my school we reviewed the priority areas and deemed these as the agreed status of ICT.

Already achieved:


  • Staff and students are equipped with ICT Tools
  • Established ICT Management Team
  • Conducted school survey to determine individual skill levels
  • Conducted professional development workshop to bring an awareness to staff on the ICT Implementation process
  • Shared SWOT analysis
  • ICT Management Team have already identified training resources
  • Website for training already created
  • Templates for certificates to be issued to participants have already been designed
  • Infrastructural upgrades discussed with principal and other stakeholders.




In the process of doing:


  • Installed another wireless router on the administrative unit
  • Mathematics and English were identified as the two areas to start the phased-in training process.
  • Determining most suitable time in which to conduct training sessions during working hours.
  • Installation of electrical outlets and lighting fixtures
  • Seeking quotation on prices for the required hardware devices (Server and Security System) as well as the cost for erecting a perimeter fence at the school.



Areas still needed to be done:

  • Build better relationships with the community and other stakeholders.
  • Offer training to parents in the value and use of the EMIS system as well as to establish better communication with our Alumni’s using the EMIS system.
  • Create linkages with other schools locally and internationally with the use of ICT Tools, in an effort to create greater learning opportunities for both staff and students.
  • Fencing of the school.
