Computer Lab
At Yarlee Foundation for Modern Studies (YFMS, our students are the primary beneficiaries of our computer lab education program. The students are provided training in basic computer literacy that enables them to fully utilize the new innovation and meet the needs of the world of growing technology.
As part of our curriculum, we have designed a modern computer lab at YFMS where computer lessons are offered to our students as project to establish and maintain computer literacy in schools in Liberia, a country where several of its people are in dire needs of computer skills. The lab is established with carefully constructed and sustainable program. Once our students have some familiarity with computers, our teachers integrate them into daily lessons. This affords talented and ambitious students the opportunities for work and higher education.
YFMS sees this as an initiative for inculcating knowledge and skills appropriate for the twenty first century in young students and to bridge the current “digital divide’” between our school and other schools in the sub-region.
The primary objectives of the YFMS Computer Education Program are as follow:
- To promote critical thinking and impart analytical skills amongst our students and develop their attitude for self-learning
- To enable our students to acquire skills for higher studies and gainful employment
- To design the curriculum based on institutions’ inputs and industry’s demand
- To enrich the existing curriculum of our school by including ICT education and training
- To provide a platform in which students of our school can be given windows of opportunities thereby bridging the digital divide in the society
- To provide an opportunity for our students to learn basic level of computer education and skill set to enable them to seize the basic employment opportunities after high school in the IT/Computer Science and service sector and simultaneously develop understanding for advanced IT/computer education enhancing their career prospects
