Transforming teaching and learning through ICT in schools
The publication of Fulfilling the Potential - Transforming teaching and learning through ICT in schools signals the next step after the National Grid for Learning Programme (1998-2002).

The NGfL programme has achieved a great deal, but the need now is to ensure that using and applying ICT as an integral part of the learning process becomes a natural process for all schools.
