This is basic stuff



So it s simple form filling and basic computer skills they are worried about and this is fair. Not everyone yet has a PC or laptop and not all know their way around basic tasks. Trust me I meet loads of them
A good many of them regard their IT lessons as an excuse to play games behind teachers back..That's why they don't pick up the skills.They also don't think their teachers who are older than them know anything about computers.They are dismissive of them for that reason.
