ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
ICTs play a vital role in improving the overall efficiency of the school system. Schools equipped with ICTs are today aptly referred to as “smart schools”.
ICT can be used in three main areas of education management:
1) Student related: admission; registration/enrollment; timetable/schedule of classes in electronic form; student attendance; grades list; hostel, transport, etc.
2) Teacher related: use of ICT for teaching and learning activities as well as other areas such as record keeping, service rules, latest CBSE decisions, NCERT, etc.
3) The functioning of the school: the recruitment and distribution of work; attendance and vacation management; performance evaluation; communication via email
