As with all public services, the Education sector is undergoing major change. The Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme is a key Government initiative aimed at rebuilding and renovating school amenities so that every secondary school in England has 21st century facilities. This transformation programme aims to enhance every aspect of teaching and learning, as well as integrating with the community so that families and pupils can take full advantage of educational initiatives in their local area.
Effective Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services within schools and academies is fundamental to 21st century education, with the next generation of students interacting with ICT like never before, undertaking daily tasks such as socialising with friends, purchasing computer applications, viewing online media and researching popular interests via comprehensive and interactive web sources.
