It states that Digital Strategy can focus on how education can be made better for all students. It will provide opportunities to each learner to have ample opportunities to benefit from technology in their learning by developing key skills for the digital world. Teachers and school leaders also have the opportunity to improve by developing their skills.

In this strategy they have considered the three main pillars of work to be:

1) Ensuring that digital technology is embedded in  all teaching, learning and assessment and allocating funding to purchase technology tools.

2) Ensuring that broadband width and technology connectivity is adequate for the institution and also building and improving  better relations between all involved in the school community and stakeholders.

3) Providing online safety and Data protection.

Do you agree that these are the three main components of Digital Strategy?
