Victoria introduced digital technologies to the school curriculum in 2017 to run alongside literacy and numeracy. It is therefore important that all schools are equipped to deliver ICT-facilitated teaching and learning. It is also important to prepare students for further education, training, life and work in a digital world.

Victorian Government schools are equipped with a base level of ICT infrastructure and resources. However, not all schools have access to the same ICT, particularly internet speed. DET also cannot be sure that the ICT infrastructure, resources and services it provides meet all schools’ ICT-facilitated teaching and learning needs.
