Nearly four in five (79 percent) school ICT managers believe more IT skills are learnt through use of personal PCs and laptops than in the classroom, says Equanet. Just a day after Education Secretary Michael Gove unveiled plans to scrap the current ICT program in schools in favour of individually developed Computer Science courses, revealed 76 percent believe new technology takes more than two years to reach the classroom. Furthermore, over a third (37 percent) said tablet PCs are the most important technology currently used in the classroom with 92 percent admitting the devices are underused in the classroom. The majority (97 percent) also believe technology desperately needs more funding in education.
