HC Deb 14 November 1989 vol 160 c124W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment his Department has made of the need for additional computers for educational needs in(a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Department launched a five-year strategy to develop information technology across the curriculum in 1988–89. Funding within the education support grant programme provides increased equipment levels and an advisory teacher service in schools. The Department is currently considering ways to focus the programme to support the implementation of technology as a subject in the national curriculum.
