Skills for life: ICT consultation
There is considerable development work getting underway to implement ICT as
a new skill for life. QCA have developed a draft standard and are now moving
to consider the associated curriculum with the intention that this will be
piloted during 2004/5 and launched in 2005/6. There are many issues concerning
with the best way to implement ICT as a skill for life. In order to encourage
discussion amongst practitioners NIACE with the support of the Department for
Education and Skills is organising an online discussion around the issues.
(A discussion took place last November, indirectly as part of a QCA consultation
and we developing and relaunching that discussion). We would very much like
it if you and or others would join in. .
This discussion will operate from June through to September and is being managed
by Peter Robinson one of the consultants who worked on the QCA draft. He can
be contacted at PeterFRobinson@ntlworld.com.
To participate you must be registered with direct-ed.
The draft standards can be downloaded by clicking on the links below. The documents
are PDF's and require Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4 or above. Click

This discussion is part of a wider consultation process. Further details of
the consultation, and other ways of being involved, have been posted inside
the actual discussion.
Please join in.
