Our society is increasingly dependent on the use of computers and the internet.
It is difficult to know whether our children learn more about computers at home or at school. Nonetheless, we look to our schools to ensure they graduate with the skills and experience to competently use these resources in further study, work and in life generally.
Since we audited the use of computers in schools in 2000, there have been enormous advances in available information, and the speed with which we can retrieve it. We wanted to find out how well our schools have been keeping up.
