The information technology, as an important support of social economy in the twenty-first Century, is playing a decisive role in the social development process. Information technology as a compulsory course in primary and secondary schools has been carried out for more than ten years. Though information technology curriculum standard in primary schools is much too broad, causing some problems in the process of the establishment of information technology curriculum, it has also expanded autonomy and flexibility of the course, which also presents a prospective picture nationwide.
