Funding for ICT in schools
1998-99 - £102 million – earmarked funding – in little bits!
2006-07 - £741 million – capital investment to suport 3 year budget planning
From the Becta Review 2006…
Approximately half of primary and secondary schools do not have a policy in place for replacement of ICT equipment
In those that do, the rate of replacement is not at the level to maintain the longer-term currency of the technology
Key issues and challenges include achieving sustainability

Institutional Infrastructure and Learning Platform Functionality review tools
ICT Investment planning tool (TCO)
What is the planner designed to do? Can show full cost of ownership of ICT over
several years Allows you to model different investment
strategies Simple tool - easy/quick to use and maintain Can be tailored to suit local needs
What doesn’t it do? It is not a rigorous financial model – the costs are intended to
be indicative It doesn’t allow for reductions in ICT provision
-it assumes provision will remain the same or increase
The tool will give you… Current financial year
Total replacement costs Annual operating/support costs
Next financial year and the year after Stand still costs
How much will it cost us to keep at the current level of ICT? (includes budgeting for ongoing equipment replacement)
Development costsHow much do we actually need to spend to extend the current ICT provision?
What do you need to do?
Gather basic information on services and count up equipment

SummaryThe tool can help you look at…
Where are you now? What have you got? What is it costing you? What else do you need? When do you need it? What will help? Who will help?
This will help inform the development an implementation of a vision… an ICT provision that’s reliable, well-managed, well-planned and appropriate for your learners, teachers and managers
