Tony Richardson, Becta, Delivering the e-strategy for education

This session will be led by Tony Richardson, Executive Director, Strategy and Policy, Becta.

This session will set out Becta’s view about what the e-strategy is aiming to achieve in order to extend, enhance and enrich learning and to empower learners. It will be put in the national context of the evidence we have of the impact of the Harnessing Technology Strategy on the quality of learning, learner motivation and engagement and the evidence of impact on achievement. It will outline the future development of the strategy – in the context of a more demand-led system. This will ensure the needs and demands of learners, parents/carers and employers drive the way 21st century technology is harnessed to create a much more personalised system for all.
