By Erwin Oliva - INQUIRER.net
A United Nations-funded information and communications technology training (ICT) center in the Asia Pacific is planning to introduce a training program for government executives, policymakers and educators, an official told INQUIRER.net.
The Asia and Pacific Training Center for Information and Communication Technology for Development (APCICT) is now in discussions with local partners to roll out an eight-module program, dubbed “Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders “ in the country, said Hyeun-Suk Rhee, director of the APCICT, in an interview.
Hyeun-Suk was in Manila to attend an international symposium on emerging trends in ICT education. The symposium was organized by the Colombo Plan Staff College for Technician Education, an intergovernmental organization for human resource development established in 1973.
Hyeun-Suk said the APCICT, a center based in South Korea, plans to bring the training program in the Philippines through a national institute in the Philippines.
The training module was developed by various experts in ICT education, including former Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) commissioner Emmanuel Lallana, the APCICT director said.
Hyeun-Suk said the training program, developed a year ago, is set to be launched during the OECD Ministerial Meeting in South Korea next month.
She said the APCICT is going to work with CICT in the rollout of the training program in the Philippines.
The training program deals mainly with e-governance. It includes modules on project management and using ICT for socio-economic development.
The APCICT is involved in efforts targeting member-countries of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), specifically in projects using ICT in socioeconomic development through building the human and institutional capacity for ICT.
Hyeun-Suk said the APCICT targets policymakers and educational institutions in UNESCAP member countries, which includes the Philippines.
