FEMALE ICT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION (FICTTA)
One of our flagship programs is the Female ICT Teachers Association (FICTTA). Having identified the low female participation in ICTs, the organization has come out with several strategies to improve upon female participation in ICT. One of such strategies is the formation of the Female ICT Teachers Association (FICTTA).
The Association currently has 56 active members. They are given regular ICT training at the SavSign ICT Centre. While members meet in badges daily for ICT training, Members hold their general meetings on the last Friday of every month at 3pm at the Savana Signatures office.
FICTTA has a mission to improve the skills and capabilities of female teachers in using I.C.T.
It has a Vision to have an increase in the number of female ICT teachers
The objectives of FICTTA are
- To raise awareness of ICT among female teachers
