The Department of ICT Education (ICTE) at Daffodil International University offers a unique opportunity for students to develop a comprehensive blend of technology, entrepreneurship, and education skills, preparing them for diverse career pathways. With equal emphasis on Information Technology (IT) and Education, the department equips graduates to lead the transformation of Bangladesh's education sector, aligning with the national vision of Digital Bangladesh.
Our curriculum is designed to foster professional competence through in-depth knowledge, technical expertise, and ethical, social, and cultural values. The department emphasizes practical learning by offering students hands-on experiences in real-world settings, including attachment programs with digital education institutions. This experiential approach ensures a solid foundation for further specialization in IT, education, or digital pedagogy.
Unlike traditional approaches limited to educational tools or technologies (e.g., multimedia projectors or whiteboards), ICT Education integrates what to teach (ICT/Education) and how to teach (pedagogy/digital pedagogy). This distinction positions the department to prepare well-rounded educators and technologists who are equipped to navigate the complexities of modern education.
The department’s mission is to empower students to take control of their career paths by acquiring competencies in both IT and Education. Graduates are encouraged to explore impactful roles in their workplaces and communities, contributing meaningfully to digital transformation efforts. This approach addresses the growing need for teacher all-rounders—professionals capable of leading digital content creation, managing classroom networks, and integrating IT into educational settings.
In developing and least-developed countries, including Bangladesh, the demand for such multidisciplinary educators is critical. A single teacher with cross-functional expertise can bridge multiple gaps—serving as a network specialist, content creator, and educator—and lead efforts to transform theories into practical applications. This capability enables graduates to motivate students, enhance digital collaboration, and positively impact both lives and workplaces, fostering a future-ready education system.
The Department of ICT Education provides students not only with the knowledge they need but also with the confidence and leadership skills required to shape the future of education in Bangladesh and beyond.
