Preface of computer in Secondary schools

The importance of computer literacy for each Cameroonian citizen is strongly related to the fact that the world today is computer driven. Computer studies therefore become an imperative for all citizens in the world and specifically in our country. Therefore, schools that neglect this essential discipline are actually placing their students, teachers and administrators at a great disadvantage in a new world order. However, introducing Computer studies in our educational system is not an easy task because of the limitations in the areas of funding for equipment and the training of educational partners that are necessary for a good start.

One of the consequences of the introduction of computer studies in our educational system is the teaching of the subject in a difficult context by teachers of other disciplines. This is why the use of the scheme of work as well as all other pedagogical facilities in the teaching process is an absolute necessity to help achieve the computer studies syllabus objectives. Thus each computer studies teacher is advised to make good use of this present scheme of work to have their computer studies lessons correctly aligned with the state standards.

The different rubrics (topics, lessons, objectives, guidance notes, materials, duration …) contained in this scheme of work will guide the teacher prepare their lesson plans during the whole academic year. It’s now left for the teacher to do research and to bring innovations that can help him adapt his teaching strategies to his school context. As effective teachers you should keep in mind that this first edition may be updated in a nearest future and so you too should suggest improvements to it.
