April 2002
This report provides evidence of the level of investment in ICT in
primary and secondary schools in a range of countries around the
world. The indicators of investment used include: the amount of
money spent; the student to computer ratio; and the percentage
of schools connected to the Internet. The main focus of the report is on England and the USA. For each
of these countries data from a number of separate sources are
compared. The report concludes that there has been a substantial level of
investment in ICT in English schools over at least the last 20
years. This reflects the pattern in the USA and other ‘developed’
countries.

T N Gallacher HM Senior Chief Inspector of Schools 1992. This Appendix traces the development of computing in Scottish secondary schools from 1969 to 1992. While it identifies specific national initiatives, these depended for their success on a wide variety of activities undertaken throughout this time by education authorities, schools, teacher training institutions and, particularly, by a large number of individuals whose contributions should not be underestimated.
