Proprietor Tasks Private Schools On ICT Upgrading

Schools operating in Riv
ers State have been charged to ensure that their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems are upgraded to train the students with the latest ICT curriculum.
The proprietor of Nisi Group of Schools Mr. Chimela Igwe, gave the advice in an interview  with journalists Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
He said  the call became imperative after a  careful observation of some ICT  system in most of the private schools in Port Harcourt.
Igwe explained that most of the private  schools in town are only  pretending to operate ICT  system, while they have nothing to show for it.
According to him, all ICT centres  ought  to have  Microsoft windows 8 as to impact the necessary knowledge on the  students.
He regretted that ICT teaching in some of the schools are yet to operate on a full scale due to lack of qualified ICT teachers.
The Nisi Schools proprietor, noted that only qualified teachers on ICT can impact positively on the students and not those with merely teaching skill.
He also called on the State Government to monitor the activities of private schools as to know their modus  operandi.
Igwe reasoned that most school operators only enter the business  for money making.
Earlier, he had promised to organise ICT competition among private  schools in the state before the end of the first quarter of the year inorder to encourage ICT growth in schools.
