The teaching of Information Technology is a standard part of the school curriculum in most secondary schools. The same is now happening in primary schools,where children as young as six are learning how to use computers.

It is no surprise that the teaching of IT has become a standard part of the school curriculum in most secondary schools, and is now being introduced in primary schools. However, there is a growing concern that IT skills are being taught at the expense of more basic skills.
