=These are some comments by students who took an ICT course at the IGCSE level:=

=Khaled Abualnasr= ICT is a really fun and interesting subject that has helped me improve my skills using the computer. I would really advise the year 9 students to take ICT because it will not only help you with your other subjects, it will also be good to have ICT in your application when you go to college or are applying for a job in the near future. =Saud al Saud= I think ICT is a very useful subject because everything in this generation and the future generation is all about computers and it gives you a wide range of information about important uses of ICT which is definitely very useful to use in your daily lives ICT is an enjoyable subject which gives you the chance to work on the applications provided by our school, this is the only chance where you will be able to use the ICT applications at school and you will learn so much from it and can definitely benefit you in terms of using a computer at your leisure time =Zaid Khashogji = ICT is a very helpful and useful subject in the current time and future.. Not only that, but when you come to know the underlying matter of a software and hardware you find yourself drawn to it and astounded by its infrastructure as you never really perceived the depth and mystery within a PlayStation3 for example. It is a very interesting subject you'll come to find... The y9's should really consider taking ICT as a subject for their IGCSE course. Why? Well, even if they don't want to major in Information Technology, as the leading innovation of this millennium continues to progress you come to know that the majority of documentation is entirely done through a computer or processed capitally and job applications require a certain level of ICT understanding these days. Everything in the modern generation will be using computers. Having an ICT background on your job application is very good as they will accept people who know even a bit of ICT. So, to the y9's I sincerely say, go for it and take ICT, you'll love it. =Sami Omari= I think that ICT is a great essential subject for the future, since technology around us is growing very fast, we need to get used to this change and have knowledge about computers and benefit in the future. I would highly encourage the year 9 students to take ICT, because it is a very interesting subject as well, and as stated above, they will benefit from taking ICT in the future. =Yasmeen Sukkar= I think ICT is a very beneficial subject for me since I can use my ICT skills in many subjects as well as providing me with useful information and expanding my knowledge. It has improved my IT skills and taught me more than just the basics of a computer. I now know how to use programs and applications as effectively as i can in order to benefit the fullest from it. I highly encourage them to take IT because IT has become one of the most required and important skills many jobs and universities require. IT helps you with many things and would be useful to you for any subject or job since the use of computers and complicated software and programs are becoming very popular nowadays. Furthermore, IT is a fun subject and with much practice, a high grade can be guaranteed. = = =Lativia Abduljawad = I think ICT is a very interesting subject for everyone, as its beneficial and provides many useful information and skills. As for me, it has improved many of my skills of using a computer and its applications. It taught me how to use the computer and its programs in a very sufficient and proper way, as well as many things that I never knew about. I highly recommend the year 9's to choose IT next year, because it’s one of the most important subjects that this generation requires to get into a good university or a good job. Besides that IT is a fun subject, along with many interesting information that enables you to expand your knowledge on many things and helps you in other subjects. ICT can guarantee you a very high grade, however you must work very hard in order to do so, this will mean you need to practice all the times and review your work as many times as possible. = = =Hunza Bukhari= I think that ICT is a great subject it is fun to learn, you can learn lots of stuff about the ICT world and learn how do you do the functions in for example Excel, the different shortcuts of a keyboard. Plus it would help you in the future in your jobs because most of the jobs nowadays need computer-literate people to work for them and it helps your basic necessities in life like making a magazine for a company or making pie charts for your job that has business included in it like banking and you might also need to know your functions, from excel. = = =Mohammed Fazil Hussein= The computer has been the biggest breakthrough in the vast history of mankind, it was an inevitable state that our world will one day be controlled by a non-human controller, and now it has come. Many students have often been reluctant with their decision of choosing ICT because they claim that ICT is all about just learning how to use a couple of programs and can be just done using the help menu. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">That is a devastatingly false claim because ICT will not only teach you how computers work, it enables you to synchronize with them in harmony as if you and the machine are one. Also if you believe that the knowledge of programs is a waste of precious time, think again because even if you become a doctor without the applicable knowledge of databases your patient's records are going to get muddled up creating a disaster. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">ICT today has become a part of your life even before you stepped in this world, the check-ups that doctors make is thoroughly incomplete if the use of a computer is not applied. That is how useful and notable ICT a course has become today. It is not a subject/course, but a gateway to the 21st century world =<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Shereen Bassiouni = I think ICT is a topic worth learning. ICT is used in everyday life and I find that interesting to believe that technologies these days are changing rapidly due to ICT. It’s one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. I really have enjoyed taking this particular course.

What would you say to the year 9 students in order to encourage them to take ICT next year? ICT is an awesome subject! You won’t regret taking it, BUT you will certainly regret NOT taking it. It’s one of the most interesting subjects you can EVER take for IGCSE. ICT never fails to “WOW” a crowd and it will certainly never fail to “WOW” you. I strongly encourage you to take ICT, because it’s a subject worth NOT losing. Do the right thing and take ICT. = = =<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Talha Dar = <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">ICT is not only a very interesting subject but it stimulates our knowledge about the ever growing technologies and expertise in the world. Every week or every month we see devices and gadgets which are ALL related to ICT being ‘born’ in this world. From small things like video games to mobile phones & block-buster Oscar-winning movies which have all used the technology of ICT to help them create a great impact on the world.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I think ICT is a great subject, especially in the current era since it has such a massive effect and influence on our world. Everything around us is related to ICT, these computers, our washing machines; our mobiles… even the pens we use were created in factories which use machines related to ICT.

I would not only encourage the Year 9s this year to take ICT as a subject since everything around us it related to it, but also wish they would take interest in the subject as I did.
