This article aims to describe the implementation of Multimedia Technologies, a subject from the new
Timorese General Secondary Education curriculum. Data was collected from several participants
via document analysis, direct observation, interviews and focus groups. Results point to the need to
equip schools with suitable infrastructures for implementing the subject in question, such as electrical
and telecommunication facilities and equipping schools with computer labs. They also point to the
lack of trained teachers and the lack of initial training courses that can help bridge this gap. They still
reveal that it is desirable to keep providing continuous training to all teachers teaching the subject,
from all districts, regardless their professional category (permanent or contract teacher).
