Activity 4: Choosing Focus Areas

ICT and Security
It is important to consider all that is needed to keep an institution with ICT equipment safe. At our ABIIT location the building and infrastructure has as security a fence around the yard, security guards at the gate, emergency exit doors, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, video cameras, and now and again security checks.

In the future we want our own building with the same security measures and more.

ICTs and Curriculum
