Activity 4C: ICT and security


This section will deal with issues around ICT infrastructure and security. The theft of equipment in schools could be a realistic concern in your community. A school must therefore ensure that there is adequate security before it proceeds in purchasing any equipment. .
  • The implications regarding the use of equipment after school hours must be considered.
  • Schools that have access to Internet must enforce certain rules and the educationally accountable use of the Internet. Abuse of the facility at institutional expense (e.g. visiting pornographic sites), must be avoided.
  • The use of passwords or, if necessary, strong measures must be enforced to protect confidential data, e.g . examination papers etc.

This activity will take you through issues that deal with different security measures for schools with ICTs. This pathway is appropriate for all schools that have ICTs in place. By doing this activity you will be given the opportunity to learn what other schools have done to safeguard their equipment.

This activity is intended to help you in identifying and put in place proper security measures for ICT usage.
