Ict curricula Guidelines (2nd draft)

7. Recommendations for Designing New ICT Curricula

The cycle of knowledge creation, distribution, learning and utilisation is becoming shorter. This in turn leads to a need for continuous qualification of the workforce and an update of the learning content.
As a result of the above new curricula reflecting novel content, learning objectives, teaching methodology, certification and relevant learning process need to be designed.

These curricula should meet the needs of traditional full-time learners as well as non-traditional learners such as part-timers and mature students.

In order to meet all these requirements the ICT curricula need a flexible structure on a modular basis so that they can be easily adapted to different target groups, different skills profile needs and the rapid pace of change.
