There is a new curriculum derived from Indonesian Ministry of education called 2013 Curriculum. On that curriculum ICT subject are being removed for Primary and middle school. The problem came up from the curriculum and readiness of the teacher, where in that curriculum the removal was replaced by integrating it into another subject, where skills of the teacher is not yet match to the curriculum and the tools are not ready yet. For some teachers and experts on education in the area of digital era it would a step backward, because when the children born in digital era and have curiosity for it, the school removed the subject.
What do you think about it? Do students need to have ICT subject in primary and middle school or not ?
