ETH is driving the ‘ICT for school transformation’ initiative, architected as a global collaboration platform for schools across geographic regions, syllabuses and languages. The innovative membership offerings in the ‘ICT for School’ platform brings affordability and effectiveness of ICT in teaching, learning, administration and collaboration, not only within a school, but extending across schools, teachers, students and parents. ‘ICT for school’ enhances the quality of education imparted by schools, through teacher training and technology awareness programs for schools. The platform connects various schools through effective teacher trainings comprising specially designed activities driven through four phases of Overview, Training, Implementation and Evaluation. Students have a global arena to participate in interschool competitions such as Games, Quizzes and Olympiads, access to learning resources, interschool talent search and mentoring programs, exposure to subject matter experts and scientists, giving them the ‘freedom to learn’ . With teachers from across the world being involved in a school for imparting high quality education, ‘ICT for school’ gives administration and collaboration platform for schools and teachers that gives them the ‘freedom to operate’ irrespective of where they are.
