Green light for world’s first schools intranet

A national schools intranet digitally linking Scotland’s 800,000 teachers and pupils came a step closer today. Education Minister Peter Peacock awarded ICT specialists RM a five-year £37.5 million contract to develop the intranet, the first project of its type anywhere in the world.

When the intranet goes live in early 2007 it will:

  • Offer pupils and teachers access to a range of learning and teaching resources from their computers at school or home
  • Allow teachers to maximise the use of internet technology such as video clips and high-quality graphics, making lessons more exciting for their pupils
  • Enable every pupil and teacher to communicate and collaborate electronically with one another, sharing ideas and resources.
