Strategy for Implementing National ICT in Education Policy in the Commonwealth of Dominica 2004 - 2009

This document presents a strategic framework for implementing ICT in the education system of the Commonwealth of Dominica, borrowing generously from the OERU’s Model Strategic Plan document, but also builds on the strategies for ICT presented in the Pillars for Partnership and Progress (PPP), as well as regional and international ICT implementation strategies.

Guiding Philosophies

The Ministry of Education believes that:

1. There is need for an organisational and managerial structure that oversees and/or coordinates ctivities relating to ICT in the education system.
2. It is through partnership and collaboration between educators, parents, employers, students and other stakeholders that the vision of the strategic plan can become a reality.
3. There is a need for the adoption of standards for the acquisition, implementation and use of ICT
4. Principals and other leaders in schools must assume ownership of school level ICT projects.
