The Deputy will be aware that significant resources have been brought to bear under my Department's Schools IT 2000 — 1998-2000 and Blueprint for the Future of ICT in Irish Education — 2001-03 initiatives to integrate ICT into first and second level education. Large elements of these resources have been directed at assisting in the development of schools ICT infrastructure. Censuses of ICT infrastructure have been taken throughout this process and the most recent taken in the 2002-03 academic year shows that the pupil to computer ratio has fallen in post-primary schools from 16:1 to 9:1.
