I understand. Third, 40% of students are being taught by teachers with low confidence levels in using ICT. I will put a spanner in the works. Where does what Mr. Daly has stated stand as regards our greatest weaknesses in school, namely, numeracy and literacy? This paper gives me the impression that ICT is some kind of saviour. I live in the real world, where the main requirements in school for three year olds to 15 year olds are numeracy and literacy. Will Mr. Daly outline three or four lessons that ICT teaches that books and human beings cannot? It is not a race against that, but there are enormous generalisations.
