As we enter into a new academic year, renewing our understanding of school ICT budgets, priorities and spending for the coming year is timely.

BESA is currently compiling the 21st issue of our annual ICT in UK Schools survey. This seminar is an opportunity to meet with Richard Connor who has authored this report since its inception. The first part of the session will look at historical trends. We will then look at priorities and opinions on ICT provision and spending over the coming year, while taking a look at the provision of new devices. Lastly, we’ll examine likely spending over 2018/19 and the outlook for 2019/20.

There will be plenty of time for discussion and debate so that everyone can consider the marketplace from the perspective of a wide range of sectors and company representatives. The session will end with a networking lunch, where we can continue discussing the year ahead with colleagues.

There will be a full agenda posted shortly.
