The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in education is growing in demand around the world. This is because revolutionary developments in computer technology and the internet have changed the way people live and work. However, Nepal’s education sector still has long way to go with ICT integrated approaches to educating pupils. A big ICT fete just concluded in Kathmandu. The organisers also conducted an ICT conference. Such fetes, organised on a yearly basis, facilitate the purchase of IT hardware and software, but very few people are specifically concerned about the use of ICT in education.
As per schedule, on Monday, NEFEMA will stage a protest against the Malaysian embassy in Pulchowk with placards and banners and submit a petition against the introduction of the bio-medical test system. Similarly, on Wednesday, it will stage a protest at Department of Foreign Employment in Tinkune.
Electronic Governance, e-governance in short, refers to the use of Information Technology (IT) and computers by government to provide services to general public and business entities. It also involves the use of IT within government organizations in day-to-day functions.
In the context of Nepal, there has been some progress in e-governance in recent times, but we are still far behind developed countries in this regard.
