Project: Incorporating the Smart Mobile Phone in the Teaching and Learning process in Mengo Senior School, Uganda.

Background/ Challenge

ICT is fast growing today as a medium of instruction in the education system in Uganda today. Yet, access to tools of ICTs for example desk/ laptop computers by most schools is still alarmingly lacking. There is a need therefore to add the smart mobile phone to the tools of ICT in Mengo Senior School so that accessibility to ICT is boosted. Over 90% of the student population in the school can operate a smart mobile phone but outside school for other business other than academics. It is proposed therefore that policies, terms and conditions be devised to lay grounds for the introduction of the smart mobile phone for use for academic purposes inside school. Where the desk or lap top cannot reach and where there is no room for such heavy and expensive gadgets, the smart mobile phone will come in to counter the situation and accord access to ICT for academics conveniently.
