About the Enriched IT Programme in Secondary Schools
The Enriched IT Programme in Secondary Schools is an eight-year initiative (from 2015/16 to 2022/23 school year) aiming to nurture young IT professionals and even entrepreneurs to meet the development needs of a digital society. The programme comprises two complementary elements as follows –
- Enriched IT Class Programme – Eight partner schools will provide intensive IT training to secondary students who are interested and talented in IT.
-
Enriched IT Activities Programme – IT activities will be organised by other secondary schools to foster a pro-IT atmosphere and stimulate interest in IT in the school community.
