The Government are committed to giving schools the freedom to use their professional judgment in implementing new technologies.

In his recent speech at BETT the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend Michael Gove, highlighted opportunities provided by technology to improve teaching and study, both within and beyond the classroom, including the potential for the use of games and interactive software.

Over the period 2011-13 the Government will allocate a total of £3.75 million to support professional development opportunities and resources for teachers in the effective use of ICT. These are delivered by the VITAL consortium, comprising the Open University and e-Skills UK.
