Kenya Multi-Year Programme 2011-2013 - VVOB

educational management. Focus in the programme with respect to KESI will be to support them in theintegration of activities that strengthen specifically the ICT Integration process in schools. This will bedone merely through on the job capacity building and activities.Sub-result 3.1Strengthen the capacity of the ICT & Media Team of KESI to properly implement outcomes of theIntegration Team into their organization and training of educational managers (Through: capacitybuilding, meetings, on the job training and support).The programme will strengthen the (institutional) capacity of KESI (ICT & Media department) tointegrate concrete activities that benefit ICT Integration in schools into KESI as an organization and intheir training programs. In phase I of the programme, a syllabus on ICT Integration for SecondarySchool Principals and Managers was developed, tested and altered. New materials will be based onthis syllabus.Result 4CEMASTEA supports the capacity development of secondary school teachers for effective use of ICTin teaching and learning through the development of minimum standards for training of secondaryschool teachers and models for INSET training of secondary school teachers.The fourth result area concerns the Centre for Mathematics and Science Education in Africa(CEMASTEA), VVOB‘s strategic partner in the programme, who deals with the in-service training ofsecondary school teachers in the mentioned subjects. Under this result area the programme supportsboth ICT Integration in the Teaching and Learning activities of CEMASTEA itself, and the roll out ofthe same through in-service training programmes.Teacher training is an important lever for integration of ICT in the learning process. Most of the preservicetraining for secondary teachers is offered by the various universities. To give ICT Integration agreater chance to be part of pre-service teacher training, the initiative will be taken to set nationalminimum standards for training in ICT Integration. This will be achieved through a consultative processwith Universities, MOE, TSC, KIE and other relevant stakeholders.Sub-result 4.1Support the strengthening of the ICT Committee within CEMASTEA to drive “ICT Integration inEducation” for INSET training at the institutional level (Through: training courses; on-the-job training;meetings, workshops, development of policies, strategies, standards, guidelines; managementadvice).During the first phase of the programme the ICT Committee at CEMASTEA was set up andstrengthened. The Committee is the driving force behind ICT uptake and Integration in the institution.However, if it wants to continue to play this role, the ICT committee should be stronger embedded inthe structure of the organization. Furthermore, the capacity of the Committee should be furtherenhanced to remain effective. The programme will support these efforts through continuous capacitybuilding (workshops, on the job, short courses, support to formulate strategies for enhancedintegration, etc).Sub-result 4.2Assist and support the process of infusing “ICT Integration in Education” at all levels in theCEMASTEA structures (Through: training, meetings, workshops, development of ICT integratedmodules and lesson plans).To have more impact on the integration of ICT by teachers in the classroom, ICT should be integratedin the teaching and learning by CEMASTEA staff. This would be in line with the ‗Teach as you Preach‘– idea. It would require institutional, attitude and capacity changes within CEMASTEA, induced by theICT Committee and supported by the VVOB programme.Kenya - Multi-Year Programme 2011-2013 46/148
