AICTEC

The Australian Information and Communications Technology in Education Committee (AICTEC) is a national, cross-sectoral committee responsible for providing advice to all Australian Ministers of Education and Training on the economic and effective utilisation of information and communications technologies in Australian education and training.

AICTEC has representation from the schools, vocational education and training and higher education sectors, and includes both public and private education and training sector interests. Through its broad membership, the Committee represents the information and communication technology interests of each State and Territory school and vocational, education and training (VET) system, the non-government school sector, higher education, and the Australian Government.

AICTEC's revised Terms of Reference, endorsed by MCEETYA on 17 April 2008, extend AICTEC's role to include providing strategic policy advice on implementation of the Digital Education Revolution. In making this decision, MCEETYA noted that AICTEC would provide cross-jurisdictional and cross-sectoral policy advice to MCEETYA, COAG's Productivity Agenda Working Group and relevant sub-groups, and the Australian Government regarding implementation of the Digital Education Revolution and related ICT issues and, in this context, facilitate national consultation, collaboration and coordination as appropriate.
