This summary sheet summarises the report Managing ICT costs in schools (Becta 2006), which is based on the findings from a series of projects with 43 schools between 2002 and 2005. The report explores how, in a changing context, school leaders can get the best value from existing technology and staff skills, while identifying sustainable arrangements for the future.
This summary sheet sets the educational context and illustrates the role of leaders in collating and managing costs, suggesting a range of ways they may use cost information to develop and embed the use of ICT.
Publication of the e-strategy (DfES 2005) marked a step change in government thinking about the importance of educational technology, and ICT is now regarded as a basic educational utility rather than as an additional service. Becta’s National Digital Infrastructure underlines this point and clarifies that the systems and services required to embed ICT in schools must be appropriate, reliable, affordable and sustainable.
