Pupils let down by technology in schools


by Education Executive
Teachers’ IT skills lag behind modern technological innovations and it is holding pupils back.  Students are being let down by teachers’ IT skills and school technology, according to research by Ofsted. An Ofsted report, titled ‘Meeting technological challenges?, draws on evidence from inspectors’ design and technology (D&T) subject survey visits to primary and secondary schools between September 2007 and July 2010. Ofsted inspectors found that a considerable challenge facing schools is the modernisation of the D&T curriculum so that it keeps pace with technological developments. Tackling this issue, particularly in secondary schools, is fundamental to the improvements that need to be made, says Ofsted, and essential if pupils are to become confident and capable members of a technologically advanced society.
