Discuss how using ICT tools will deliver new competence based curriculum

 Development and acquisition of digital content, aligned with the curriculum and that focuses on project and activity-based learning and is fully integrated with the use of ICT, along with the associated formative assessments. This will require the acquisition of a content distribution platform and eventual shift from print to digital content as infrastructure is deployed in schools. REB will brief publishers on the new curriculum to develop e-textbooks in line with the new curriculum and adapt local and international content to complement/ supplement the core e-textbooks. Digital content has advantages of reducing costs of printing, distribution, replacement due to wear and tear and enriching the learning experience.
