The National Grid for Learning Progress Report Three
Chapter 1: Introduction
The National Grid for Learning Scotland (NGfL Scotland) was launched in August 1998 to ensure the educational benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) were available to schools and the wider education community.
The Digital Scotland report, published in September 2000, gave an undertaking to provide annual reports of progress with the NGfL Scotland.
This current report is the third. It records the progress of the NGfL Scotland since the last progress report which was published online in December 2002 ( www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/education/nglm-00.asp). It sets out the background to the NGfL Scotland and the contribution of the Scottish Executive and records the progress with the three key ICT areas with which the NGfL Scotland is concerned - infrastructure, training and content development.
A paper summary of this document will be published early in 2004 and sent to all education authorities and to SCIS (the Scottish Council of Independent Schools) for distribution to schools.
The summary report will also be available at www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/education/nglrs3-00.asp
