What is the current status of government support for ICT in schools

In June 2007 a report, ICT in Education in South Africa was published by Shafika Isaacs. In this report he refers to a budget amount for education of R105.5 billion for education of which majority will be used for teacher's salaries.

On Thursday's news a government official announced that all departments need to seriously look at cost cutting to cover the increase the labour force request to end the strike.

I have one serious question: "How will this cost cutting exercise influence the planned expenditure for the increase in ICT usage in schools?"

ICT tools

Welcome to this blog about learning with ICT tools. I hope that through sharing daily experiences of ICT usage by both digital natives and digital immigrants, we will be able to enrich our learning environments
