“ICT Raises Educational Standards”- Impact2Report
Executive SummaryRegardless of an organisation’s size, and no matter the industry or sector it operates in,the level of benefit achieved from ICT investment is largely a function of effective management.ICT needs to be driven from the boardroom not the backroom.Unless there is recognition at the highest level that technology is critical to an organisation's ongoing success , the chances of successful ICT implementation are significantly lessened.New Study released by Senator :Hon Hellen Coonan ,Minister for ICT & Arts –Australia 21 April 2005

Foreword Information and communication technology (ICT) has become, within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society. Many countries now regard understanding ICT and mastering the basic skills and concepts of ICT as part of the core of education, alongside Reading, Writing and Numeracy.

….but schools are supposed to prepare students for all other facets of modern society.
