Micro Syllabus - Academic Year 2069
Computer Science (Optional II)
Grade 9-10
1. Introduction
Fast development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has made human life easier
and comfortable. A man who lives in one corner of the world can get huge information by clicking
his/her computer mouse and use it for his/her betterment. Due to the development of information and
communication technology the world has changed into a small global village. For better use of ICTs,
computer science is helpful and supportive. It is a vital part of ICT. So computer science is supposed as
an important subject in school education in this modern world. By the study of this subject a student can
be, innovative, productive, self-confident, and self dependent citizen of the nation by using ICTs in
his/her daily life. Keeping this matter in mind curriculum Development Centre (CDC) has given space
to computer science as an optional subject in the secondary school level curriculum. The reviewed
curriculum has included detail components of curriculum. There are general objectives, level wise
objectives, specific objectives, grade wise objectives, content, scope and sequence, weightage,
teaching/learning activities and evaluation procedures.
2. General objectives
