3. Heavy investment on facilities
SS aims to integrate ICT in education so need many
high-tech facilities
The costs and maintenance fees for the facilities are
high
Lackof manpower in handling the technical
problem
Some schools do not have enough technician
If technical problems occur during class, teacher and
students have to wait for the technician
Affect the teaching and learning process
4. Smart School courseware was found to be under-utilised
Some teachers are not keen on
using the courseware
WHY??? They lack ICT knowledge and not
comfortable with the use of
hardware and courseware
Prefer traditional way of teaching
which is chalk and talk
Think that using courseware is a
waste of time so they rather pay
more attention on parts that are
related to exams
5. • Some teachers can’t teach
effectively
• New teachers lack of
intensive training
• Experienced teachers lack
of ICT knowledge
• Still practicing teacher-
centered teaching where
teachers should be the
facilitators and students are
active learners
6. • One of the problems SS faced is to design teaching-
learning materials that will accommodate students’
differing needs and abilities
• Courseware has to be developed for all subjects in the
curriculum and to cater for the high fliers, the average and
the slow
• This courseware must have discrete self-contained
packages, interactive, cognitively challenging, with self-
assessment and built-in checkpoints for teachers’ inputs
• Besides, there is a need to make available rapid and
sustainable supply of courseware in the next year or two,
and to have these constantly replenished and updated
