Schools are preparing for the axe to fall on their IT budgets after years of ring-fenced Government investment. A study of almost 1,400 schools conducted by the British Education Suppliers Association (BESA) found that only 58% of primary schools and 51% of secondary schools were planning to maintain IT spending at their current levels. “There’s less money in the system,” Ray Barker, director of BESA told PC Pro. “The big issue is in the past 10 years the Government has been giving ring-fenced funds for technology in schools. The Government has started to ease off that ring-fencing.”
