View answerIntegrating ICT into teaching and learning in schools remains a priority for this Government. The Department's ICT in Schools programme sets out a clear agenda to be pursued in this regard, focusing on four main projects: ICT Infrastructure in schools, the Schools Broadband Programme, the development of teacher skills, and the provision of curriculum-relevant digital content.
A new digital strategy for teaching and learning in schools is under development at present and the provision of equipment to schools will be considered in this context.
