"Because
education is the number one priority, and because we believe in opportunity
for all, every Primary and every Secondary in the country will have
high speed, always on access to the vast resources of the Internet.
Every school will be able to benefit from the experience of The
Ashcombe School in Surrey where whole classes of students
now use broadband video streaming to support their foreign language
GCSE work. Audio and video are combined with an interactive quiz which
can be paused and replayed to cater for individual learning speeds
- an exciting and effective way of improving the quality of education
in our schools. Broadband access will be backed by new interactive
content and support material that will be made available through the
digital curriculum." |
