Towards enhancing ICT competencies of Bhutanese students
COMPETENCIES
The ICT curriculum expects students of classes IX and X to achieve certain competencies that are listed below at the year. Teachers must ensure that learning experiences that allow students to develop the listed digital competencies are provided regularly in schools and beyond.
PYTHON CODING ACTIVITIES
A team of ICT professionals from MoESD and ICT teachers have designed two activity books that our teachers can use while teaching Python concepts in classes IX and X. These activities will facilitate students to get a deeper understanding of the coding concepts reflected in classes IX and X ICT curriculum. ICT teachers may use the activities in their classroom lessons to ensure that our students become comfortable and confident in Python coding.
PRESENTATION SLIDES ON PYTHON CODING CONCEPTS
A group of ICT experts from MoESD, along with ICT teachers, developed comprehensive lesson slides for teaching coding to 9th and 10th-grade students. These slides offer a thorough understanding of the coding concepts and ensure consistency in teaching across all schools nationwide. Additionally, they alleviate teachers' workload by providing ready-made resources, allowing them to focus on delivering lessons effectively.

PAST QUESTION PAPERS
OLD PRESENTATION SLIDES ON PYTHON CODING
A group of ICT teachers in Thimphu worked on the presentation slides on Python content for classes IX and X. The slides are made for easy reference for the ICT teachers on the key concepts in Python programming. ICT teachers may use the materials and make changes as per the need to make teaching and learning more engaging and meaningful.
