Improved I.T. provision
To improve the standard of educational facilities in schools in Edinburgh as we are using high performance software and do not have the ability to use it efficiently as the computers given to schools in Edinburgh are of a low standard and must be improved.
Why is this important?
There will be notable repercussions in the standard of exam results in six different courses in Firrhill High School alone if the I.T. equipment isn't provided at an acceptable standard in schools in Edinburgh. Disadvantaged students are effected the worst as they may be unable to provide a computer at home. Pupils in classes are unable to complete tasks as the computers provided previously do not have the ability to run programs needed in course work.
