17 December 2022, UNESCO is organizing the workshop aimed to introduce The ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT CFT) to persons responsible for teacher training, namely Ministry of Education officials, Teacher Training Instructors officials, pre-and in-service teacher trainers, as well as instructional designers and curriculum developers.
The ICT CFT version 3 provides a framework from which ICT competencies can be identified and use to inform ICT in education policy directives, curriculum design, and pre-and in-service training to capacitate educators to embrace and use technology appropriately. The ICT CFT covers ICT skills required for teaching and learning, identifies competencies associated with school administration and continuing professional development, as well as aligns classroom practice with national priorities as stated in the policy. The ICT CFT also envisages three levels of teacher growth with ever-increasing sophistication.Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning, teaching, and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under the copyright that has been released under an open license, that permits no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation, and redistribution by others. At the 40th Session of the UNESCO General Conference, UNESCO Member States adopted by consensus the UNESCO OER Recommendation which calls for the greater integration of OER in educational systems.
