Minister for Education
Response time
30 days
I am advised by the Department of Education as follows:
(1) The Standard Operating Environment Four (SOE4) has been implemented in 115 schools.
(2) Dependent on school size, a three to four week implementation period is required. However, core school business services are restored within four working days.
(3) The Department of Education determines software for security, anti-virus protection and core administration purposes. Schools determine which software to use for particular purposes in individual schools.
(4) The Department is unable to determine the length of support calls specific to SOE4. The costs for visits to schools to rectify ICT supported issues are met by Central Office.
(5) The Department cannot measure the number of support calls based specifically on drivers or software patches. The ICT Directorate manages all driver and software patches for all centrally-managed services. School-based staff are supplied with software tools and have the appropriate security permissions to install drivers and software patches for school-specific, locally-installed infrastructure and software.
(6) For the period from July 2010 to September 2011 the average length of time to resolve issues for SOE4 were:
· 54 per cent of issues were resolved at the first point of contact;
· a further 15 per cent of issues were resolved within one working day;
· a further 17 per cent of issues were resolved within five working days; and
· a further 14 per cent of issues took more than five working days.
