General Information Technology (GIT)

Course Details :   

General Information Technology (GIT) was first introduced in 2002, based on a decision taken by the Ministry of Education to re- introduce the computer education related subject in Grade 12 (First year of GCE A/L). National level examinations for GIT were held twice in 2005 and 2006. Two unpublished research reports are available to date on the introduction of GIT. In 2006, four years after its introduction, the NIE carried out a survey regarding GIT. The findings of this survey and recommendations of the two said research reports were taken into consideration by the curriculum revision team when revising the existing curriculum.
