I refer to the information provided by the Education Department supplementary to the Standing Committee on Estimates and Financial Operations hearing of 6 June 2000, that “the learning technologies funding is calculated on the same basis for all schools without reference to their existing resources”, and ask: On what will schools spend that portion of their learning technologies funding which is in excess of that required to achieve their target students to computer ratio? Hon BARRY HOUSE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. Once schools have demonstrated a capacity to achieve the target computer student ratios and standards, they have the flexibility to direct funding to - integrating technology into teaching and learning; developing teacher competencies in learning technology; accessing and acquiring electronic educational resources for students such as software, CD ROMs and Internet resources; technical support; and developing school connectivity - local area networks and Internet access.
