Rightly, he and his team were praised for the excellent work it had undertaken to facilitate the move of council staff to Dundee House over the summer.
I thought that it was also important to clarify how far IT investment was reaching into our schools. To maximise readiness for the world of work and further education, it's clearly important that our school pupils are learning on current versions of software running on up to date computers.
In answer to my questions, Ged Bell confirmed that almost all classrooms in our schools had been provided with an electronic whiteboard, data projector and desktop computer. After the meeting, in an email, he also confirmed that 98% of Schools' PCs have Windows 7 installed and this will reach 100% by the Christmas break.
This impressive achievement has been the result of a continuing investment in IT in our schools.
