Answer for Questions & Answers for the future of Secondary Education in 2020

Computers and technology can help the teacher when used properly; in other words, when the teacher is involved in working out how best to use them. It is true that they have to trained in order to use technology properly, and not only using it but also trying to conduct it to the children. Even in the most advanced schools in OECD countries, very few teachers typically have a comprehensive knowledge of the wide range of ICT tools and resources. But once they have been trained they will be able to give a much more interactive lecture, explain their topic using multimedia and motivate pupils to participate actively in the class. By using computers for doing tests and exercises, the children will be able to get instant feedback from the computer, thus the teachers won’t have to correct a whole bunch of papers. Irrespective of the use of technology, good teaching is still the most important aspect in education.
