Ministry of education EDUTech@Seychelles launches competitions for teachers and students



The EDUTech@Seychelles was officially launched in September last year by the minister for education, Mrs. Macsuzy Mondon during a ceremony at the Seychelles Trading Company conference room, in the presence of delegates from different ministries, and local and international companies.
The EDUTech@Seychelles competition which is open to all students and educators from state and private schools aims at promoting the use of ICT in teaching and learning, by providing opportunities for students to become independent learners and exploit the use of ICT, and helping teachers develop a vision to transform their classrooms into an environment that fosters 21st century learning and innovative teaching practices.
The main competition requires the participants to submit a project, or a lesson that uses ICT for teaching and or learning and provide evidence that ICT used has enhanced the teaching and or learning process.
The competition is open to students and teachers from state or private schools at crèche, primary, secondary, post secondary or tertiary education level either as individual or groups category.  Participants can collect a copy of the application form at the IT services section of the ministry of education after school or working hours, Monday to Friday and receive further information about the competition.   
The deadline to submit application forms for the competition is 11 March 2013 and all competitors have to submit the completed the project by 21 June 2013.
