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.
