The Ministry of Education (MOE) has said that its school teachers will still have access to the internet on their work stations. This is in spite of plans to unplug computers used in the civil service from the internet by next year.

Teachers will have access to a separate network that is not connected to the Government Enterprise Network.

Schools are more dependent on the use of internet for instructional and pedagogical purposes. As such, it has been decided that they will continue to have access to teaching and learning resources on the internet from their computers.

Web surfing in the civil service is allowed but only on employees’ personal mobile devices. There will also be dedicated internet terminals for departments which require them.
