Information Communication Technology is developing rapidly and is proving to be a great asset to school education around the world. The UK Government initiated the first ICT in Schools programme in the UK in 1997 to stimulate and support the use of ICT in UK schools, improve education standards and encourage new ways of teaching and learning.

Following the success of this project, with the assistance of Beijing Municipal Educational Commission and Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences, we introduced an ICT in Schools project to promote integration of ICT into the Chinese school curriculum in in 2002.

In Guangdong, we are working with the Guangdong Department of Education on an English Teaching and Internet Project (ETIP), to meet the demand for Information Communication Technology (ICT) in schools. English teaching is being used as a pilot subject, but we hope that other subjects will be introduced soon.

Working with Beijing Municipal Education Commission, we organized training for about 60 primary and secondary school principals in November 2003. Training focused on the following issues:

• school management, including teacher management and teaching affairs management;
• the relationship between schools and the community;
• the relationship between schools and government authorities, eg. LEAs and national educational agencies;
• recent school management and administration reforms and practical applications;
• principal training systems and practice ;
• quality issues;
• accountability;
• curriculum and examinations.
