Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the significance is of the award of an ICT Mark to a school; and how many schools received such an award in 2013.
This question was answered on 11th September 2014
The ICT Mark was launched by the National Association of Advisers for Computers in Education (Naace) in 2007 and was accredited by Becta until 2011. Following the closure of Becta in 2011, Naace took full responsibility for awarding the ICT Mark independently of government, and the Department for Education ceased to have any involvement. According to Naace, 379 schools in the United Kingdom received the award in 2013.
