2. PROBLEMS

3.  Heavy investment on facilities
 SS aims to integrate ICT in education so need many
high-tech facilities
 The costs and maintenance fees for the facilities are
high
 Lackof manpower in handling the technical
problem
 Some schools do not have enough technician
 If technical problems occur during class, teacher and
students have to wait for the technician
 Affect the teaching and learning process

4. Smart School courseware was found to be under-utilised
 Some teachers are not keen on
using the courseware
WHY???  They lack ICT knowledge and not
comfortable with the use of
hardware and courseware
 Prefer traditional way of teaching
which is chalk and talk
 Think that using courseware is a
waste of time so they rather pay
more attention on parts that are
related to exams

5. • Some teachers can’t teach
effectively
• New teachers lack of
intensive training
• Experienced teachers lack
of ICT knowledge
• Still practicing teacher-
centered teaching where
teachers should be the
facilitators and students are
active learners

6. • One of the problems SS faced is to design teaching-
learning materials that will accommodate students’
differing needs and abilities
• Courseware has to be developed for all subjects in the
curriculum and to cater for the high fliers, the average and
the slow
• This courseware must have discrete self-contained
packages, interactive, cognitively challenging, with self-
assessment and built-in checkpoints for teachers’ inputs
• Besides, there is a need to make available rapid and
sustainable supply of courseware in the next year or two,
and to have these constantly replenished and updated
