|Realising  the potential of technology in education: A strategy for education providers  and the technology industry
|(Department for Education, 2019)
|From  the Foreword: "We are living in a digitally enabled world where technology  is increasingly part of our society. We owe it to our young people, and to  anyone who wants to upskill, to do more to explore and reap the benefits that  technology can bring. This strategy is the first step in helping us do just  that across our education system."
|-
|2023
|Accreditation  for online education providers
|(Department for Education, 2023)
|"The online education  services sector for children in England has grown rapidly in recent years.  This type of provision is currently unregulated. Many providers now offer a  full curriculum and may represent a child’s main or only source of formal education.  The Department for Education (DfE) is introducing an accreditation scheme to  reassure children, parents and local authorities of the quality of education  and safeguarding arrangements offered by these providers."

Table P.1 Policies and strategies for ICT in Education in schools

Date Policy Reference Brief description
2005 Harnessing Technology: Transforming Learning and Children's Services (Department for Education, 2005) "This document is the Department for Education and Skill's first cross-sector e-learning strategy. The strategy focuses on what the technology can do for informing and advising citizens, for supporting children and learners of all ages in their encounters with the system, and for transforming the experience of learning."
2010 New government closes Becta (Department for Education, 2012) "Becta was set up to lead the national drive to ensure the effective and innovative use of technology throughout learning. ... our judgement is that schools are now in a position to manage much of this themselves." This was hotly disputed e.g. (Arthur, 2010).
2019 Realising the potential of technology in education: A strategy for education providers and the technology industry (Department for Education, 2019) From the Foreword: "We are living in a digitally enabled world where technology is increasingly part of our society. We owe it to our young people, and to anyone who wants to upskill, to do more to explore and reap the benefits that technology can bring. This strategy is the first step in helping us do just that across our education system."
2023 Accreditation for online education providers (Department for Education, 2023) "The online education services sector for children in England has grown rapidly in recent years. This type of provision is currently unregulated. Many providers now offer a full curriculum and may represent a child’s main or only source of formal education. The Department for Education (DfE) is introducing an accreditation scheme to reassure children, parents and local authorities of the quality of education and safeguarding arrangements offered by these providers."

2002-04 Laptops for Teachers (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, 2004) gives a comprehensive description of how a typical municipalities and its schools was to manage this scheme.

Laptop computers are being supplied to facilitate the flexible use of ICT equipment both at home or at school by teachers. 2004-05 is Year 3 of the scheme."

2003-10 Building Schools for the Future (National Audit Office, 2009) The BSF program aims: "to renew all 3,500 English secondary schools over the 15-year period 2005-2020, subject to future public spending decisions. It plans to entirely rebuild half the school estate, structurally remodel 35 per cent, and refurbish the rest. Refurbishment includes providing new ICT to recently built schools."

The "total capital cost of the programme will be between £52 and £55 billion". (ibid, p.7)
