Mapping ICT is a compulsory part of the National Curriculum. The existing programme for ICT, however, has been suspended as dull, boring and unsatisfactory and replaced by new courses of ICT study.

The Responses to Changes of the National Curriculum for ICT Study The leading experts and the ICT industry support the changes of the National Curriculum for ICT Study.
