ITU VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: ITU Girls in ICT Day 2013 at ITU in Geneva
ITU VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: ITU's ICT Discovery visit and US Mission Celebrates Girls in ICT Day with ITU @ ITU HQ, Geneva, Switzerland, 25 April 2013.
The U.S. Mission collaborated with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) on a program to celebrate Girls in ICT Day, which included a series of technical workshops designed to give girls hands-on experience in programming computers, making films, designing mobile phone applications, and managing satellites. ITU launched Girls in ICT Day in 2010 to inspire girls to consider a career in technology as while women are half the world's population and half the world's talent, there's a persistent gender gap in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field. Ambassador Betty E. King spoke to the group of 70 students and impressed upon them of the importance of ICT and the opportunities it presents; it has become increasingly the means with which people learn, become informed about the world around them, connect with friends and opportunities, and give themselves a voice. One of the Mission's first-tour Economic Officers, who earned a PhD in Computer Science, taught a workshop on programming and writing code. Her goal was to introduce the girls to the world of programming, demystify code, and open their eyes to the possibilities offered by a career in ICT.

ITU member nations pledge to use ICT for sustainable growth
′세계 ICT 중심에 선 부산′
The three week-long ITU Plenipotentiary Conference came to an end on this Friday with member nations seeing eye-to-eye.... on using ICT to tackle global issues and foster sustainable growth.
And for host country Korea... it was an event that cemented its status as a global ICT power country.
Connie Kim reports.
The International Telecommunication Union was a global affair, with agreements to use Information and Communication Technology to resolve global issues and to sustain economic development.
Telecommunications and ICT can serve to improve human rights and welfare of all human kind, irrespective of region, country, gender or class.
ITU Secretary-general Hamadoun Toure said he anticipates a world in which everyone benefits from easy and affordable access to ICT.
Both industrialized and developing nations saw eye-to-eye on using ICT to tackle diseases such as Ebola and bolstering aviation safety by allowing global flight tracking.
As the ITU conference came just before the deadline for the United Nations 2015 Millennium Development Goals, nations spoke in support of underprivileged nations setting up their own IT infrastructure to eradicate poverty.
However, ITU member nations still need to find agreement on the definition of Information and Communications Technology.
That has presented difficulties in deciding whether to give the UN arm more of a mandate in Internet governance.
The conference gave host country Korea a venue to expand its position in the sector.
Three resolutions proposed by Korea were adopted.
It includes facilitating the use of the Internet of Things and making sure that more than half of global households have access to the Internet by 2020.
Affirming Korea as a global ICT power nation,... Korean IT expert Lee Jae-sub was elected as director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau one of the top five decision making posts under the ITU.
Looking ahead to the 2018 Plenipotentiary Conference in the United Arab Emirates, member nations anticipate a more connected world and creating sustainable growth harnessing the use of technology.

GII 2012 Launch event - Hamedoun Toure, ITU
Hamedoun Toure, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) says ICT is the most important factor driving innovation. He addressed dignitaries attending the launch of the fifth annual Global Innovation Index in Geneva today.
Switzerland, Sweden and Singapore are the top three in the ranking of 141 countries. But other poorer countries also figure in innnovation measurements despite the lack of supportive political and social environments. Still, there are important divides to overcome.

WRS-12 -- Opening Welcome Message by François Rancy, Director, Radiocommunication Bureau, ITU at ITU World Radiocommunication Seminar 2012, Geneva, Switzerland itu.int/ITU-R/go/WRS-12
Welcome to this 2012 edition of ITU World Radiocommunication Seminar. The Radio Regulations and the associated Rules of Procedure constitute the basis texts which enable Administrations throughout the world to obtain and maintain rights to use spectrum in such a way that they can operate their radiocommunication networks without causing and without suffering harmful interference.
Your presence here in Geneva at this World Radiocommunication Seminar is the indication that you are playing an active role in this essential process which enables every citizen in the world to have access to information anywhere, anytime.
Radiocommunications today are undergoing constant changes. These changes occur often in technologies and practices. This is why these changes need to be reflected in the international regulations and this is the purpose of the World Radiocommunication Conferences.
They also need to be reflected in the ITU Radiocommunication Recommendations.
And they also need to be reflected in the software tools that we are using in the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau to process in an efficient and reliable way the thousands of notices we receive from you every week. This number is actually increasing as a result of the massification of radiocommunication applications.
There is therefore a need for the ITU Membership to be regularly updated in what is going on in all these fields. This is the purpose of this World Radicommunication Seminar.
I sincerely hope that this 2012 edition of the ITU World Radiocommunication Seminar will be successful and profitable to you and I would like to thank you for helping the ITU to connect the world.

IGCSE a brilliant curriculum
IGCSE – A brilliant curriculum
Hello Everybody!
Do subscribe to my channel to get more updates weekly on IGCSE curriculum
Yes! That’s right , IGCSE is a brilliant curriculum.
GCSEs are a wonderful and fruitful opportunity for students, the focus is on:
1. Knowlege & Understanding
2. Application
3. Analysis
4. Evaluation
All these four assessment objectives stimulate practical thinking, improve decision making power under the given circumstances, unlike the Indian Education Curriculum where the students are graded on their retention skills. Memorise. Write. Memorise. Write. That's it.
IGCSE encourages students to think out of the box, develop their thinking to give a value judgement (evaluation) with the qualities of knowledge and understanding of the subject, incorporate that knowledge with the situation (application) and then analyse to give their point of view (applies to commerce-related subjects).
IGCSE International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an academically rigorous, internationally used, specialized, English language curriculum which is offered to students to prepare them for International Baccalaureate and CIE A-level.
Examination Pattern
• Cambridge Primary, typically for learners aged 5 to 11 years
• Cambridge Secondary 1
• Cambridge Secondary 2 is typically for learners aged 14 to 16 years. It offers learners two routes: Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level.
• Cambridge Advanced is typically for learners aged 16 to 19 years who need advanced study to prepare for university and higher education. It offers learners two routes: Cambridge International AS and A Level, and Cambridge Pre-U.
IB International Baccalaureate (IB), formerly the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), is an international educational foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and founded in 1968
Examination Pattern: It offers 3 educational programs, namely
• PYP or Primary year program for KG to Class-5
• MYP or Middle year program for Class-6 to Class-10
• DP or Diploma program for Class-11 and Class-12
IB and IGCSE have an excellent international reputation which eclipse that of the rest.
one of the major ingredient of IB and IGCSE boards is balance. The knowledge is imparted upon the students such that every student is the epitome of intellectual, personal, and social balance so that he/she can trump any obstacle that might come their way.
IGCSE or IB do not follow the traditional method of going through word by word of the textbook rather they let their students explore all the resources and decide for themselves which material suits them the best . That is why IB prescribes no set textbook from which the child must gobble up the information.
IB and IGCSE surpass the subject limitation | Offering over 70 subjects, IGCSEs are taken in over 120 countries |
Group 1: Languages
Group 2: Humanities and Social Sciences
Group 3: Sciences
Group 4: Mathematics
Group 5: Creative, Technical & Vocational
I have personally taught the IGCS students and I will say that just knowing the textbook inside out is not enough to score in the IGCSE exams, because the papers have been made to test your understanding of the subject by asking many practical application questions pertaining to your subject. Furthermore, extra reading is compulsory if one wishes to score very high marks in their IGCSEs. Lastly, I would like to emphasis that after finishing IGCSEs it would be hard but not impossible for one to switch to national curriculum, as the teaching methadologies are vastly different. Thus, it is advised that you take the IGCSE exam if you want to study abroad in the future, but if you envision yourself remaining in your own country in the future, it is suggested that you enroll in a national curriculum.
