Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the Ministry of Education’s view of policy and practice. Where does the Minister stand on the issue of computers in schools? What political factors should he or she take into account, and are there likely short- or medium-term gains and losses? What policy options are likely to be available to choose from? We outline the sort of national strategy Ministry officials might devise, and discuss where the Ministry can probably obtain advice and assistance. Finally, we raise the major issue of evaluation by the Ministry of its own progress in this field.
