Education Management
A sound organizational and management structure for ICT in education is to be developed to
implement the initiatives outlined in this Strategy and to promote the use of ICT in education,
in line with the objectives contained in the National ICT Policy. This management structure will
address the need for governance to oversee ongoing monitoring, policy and standards
development, regulatory frameworks, curriculum development and capacity building. It will
seek to develop partnerships with stakeholders to enhance connectivity, access and
collaboration among educational institutions. Another goal of this initiative is to centralise IT
services (including maintenance and upgrade) and ICT procurement to deliver economies of
scale and cost savings for all educational institutions, agencies and other organisations.
Education Portal
The Education Portal will provide access to information and education related services and will
serve as a gateway to Ministry and school‐based websites. This portal development initiative
will involve several activities such as the development of the technical design, content, policy
and regulatory frameworks. The delivery of e‐services via the portal will require the review and
reengineering of existing processes to ensure efficient service delivery. The Ministry’s website
will be redesigned to comply with the “look and feel” and standards associated with the portal.
The development of school based websites will also adhere to similar standards that will give a
seamless transition from the portal to the various sites accessed through the portal’s gateways.
4.4 Health
The e‐Health Administration Programme
This Programme is designed to enable greater equity in the allocation and use of health care
resources by exploiting ICT‐enabled mechanisms to promote quality health care delivery and
management. It includes the enhancement of the Health Management Information System
(HMIS) that will generate the information needed by policy makers and health service users to
make health care delivery more effective and efficient. It is designed to enable greater equity
in the assignment of health care resources by allowing the crafting of evidence‐based policies
and guidelines. It will involve the development of appropriate legislation to govern health
information, and support improvements to health education and service delivery though ICT.
