DfES e-Learning strategy: Ruth Kelly comments - Public Technology UK
The DfES e-Learning strategy launched yesterday is one of the first large scale IT-driven proposals to be unveiled by Secretary of State Ruth Kelly since she took office. In her forward to the report, Harnessing Technology: Transforming Learning and Children's Services, this is what she says: "Our plans for boosting performance and standards across education are far reaching and radical. We aim to put learners, young people - and their parents - in the driving seat, shaping the opportunities open to all learners to fit around their particular needs and preferences." "In achieving these goals the effective use of interactive technologies is absolutely crucial and I am determined that we grasp them. They offer huge opportunities that we must exploit. That means working with all the stakeholders, schools, colleges, adult and community learning organisations, universities, independent training providers, and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry, to ensure that we deliver quality and cost effective services to all. We want to extend the variety of places where people can learn. "
