The Challenges in Education
Recent studies have shown that the biggest IT challenges faced in 2022 by schools and higher education are:
- Financial Budget
- Technical Training for Teachers
- Staffing IT Support
- Old or non-functional equipment
- Training for the IT Team
Since 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic, the top three new services needed are:
- Remote Learning (including class recording)
- Cloud Services
- Improved Wi-Fi
Laptops and Tablets are now key to learning. Meanwhile, IT Integration is deemed insufficient.
Realisations from Covid-19
Key realisations resulting from Covid-19 include:
- The importance of good IT service and infrastructure has increased;
- The long-term benefits of learning technology are being overlooked due to more immediate priorities and needs;
- The ever-expanding list of IT systems leaves the IT team’s knowledge stretched and diluted;
- Resources available in the IT department are insufficient;
- Time spent administering IT systems negatively impacts how IT can perform their duties effectively.
87% of respondents are either not confident or are unsure about the security of their network.
More than a third of schools are concerned that their networks will fail to meet demands within 2 years.
Top Priorities in Education
Our infographic shows the Top Priorities for IT in Education.
The provision of new devices for students and staff, and the ability to support applications with fast, secure wireless networks, are the top priorities in education.
