Communications and Technology Agency
Becta's
remit is to ensure that technology supports the DfEE's
drive to raise educational standards, and in particular
to provide the professional expertise the DfEE requires,

Becta
works closely with the DfEE, other government
departments and agencies and LEA's to provide the
advice, guidance and support needed to assist the
Government in meeting its objectives of:
 |
ensuring technology closely
supports the Departments efforts to drive up
standards in core curriculum subjects, in the
teaching of key skills, in school effectiveness, and
more widely in the development of lifelong learning
|
|
ensuring young people leave
school and college with the Information and
Communication Technology skills they will need for
the 21st Century
|
|
and in both these areas
ensuring that the needs of people with Special
Educational Needs are addressed
|
Becta
also keeps itself informed of international developments
in the educational use of ICT's. |
