importance of integrating ICT in CBC
Transform Rwandan citizens into technology skilled human capital for the socioeconomic development of the nation. Provide a solid foundation of technological understanding for learners to integrate into society and the world of work.
Familiarise learners with the use of ICT tools and their impact of ICT in daily life.
Familiarise learners with communication and research techniques by combining skills, attitudes and values. Demonstrate communication, research, practical problem solving, observation, creativity and innovation in everyday life.
Organise and manipulate information using common application software namely word processing, the internet, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, and multimedia.
Manipulate spatial data using Geographical Information Systems.
Develop computational thinking and logical reasoning through computer programming
ICT contributes to a learner’s development of critical thinking, research and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication and cooperation skills.
This will be achieved by conceptualising, analysing, synthesising, evaluating, manipulating and applying the role of various computing tools to appropriate contexts of real life, as well as analysing both hardware and software mechanisms.
Learners will be able to use ICT safely, securely and ethically, to manage computing tools, and to organise and present information using word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, Geographical Information Systems, graphics and multimedia and application software.

Through ICT, learners will identify problems in information processing and conduct analysis by considering relevant functional, practical, human and socioeconomic factors. They will also draw up specifications for the ICT enabled solutions to problems. Learners will draw on a range of resources which are most suitable for solving problems and developing solutions and use appropriate methods to implement these solutions using equipment, tools and techniques sensibly.
They will test, evaluate and refine solutions systematically, document solutions to problems, and appropriately apply ICTs to solve problems
