The National Grid for Learning Progress Report Three
Chapter 3: Central Government Funding and Support
The Scottish Executive supports the NGfL in schools through the School Infrastructure programme of the National Priorities Action Fund. In 2002-03 and 2003-04, 20 million was distributed annually to local authorities ( see Annex A). The money was shared out on the basis of school and pupil numbers. Local authorities use this to help sustain and support the ICT infrastructure that was created during the first three years of the NGfL programme.
The Scottish Executive also provided 6.4 million in 2002-03 and plans to spend 10.8 million in 2003-04 to support a range of central programmes, many of them carried out in partnership with Learning and Teaching Scotland. These actions to support ICT developments are described in the rest of this report.
