Seven ICT Challenges Australian Schools Must Face in 2024
That it’s been a very tricky few years for our nation’s K-12 schools is something of an understatement. After the almost-two-year disruption that was Covid-19, teachers have been left to pick up the pieces, which has meant helping students assimilate into school routines and in most cases an in-person learning environment, catching cohorts up on learning they missed, and setting workable parameters around the use of the ICT systems and devices that have become integral to the teaching and learning experience.
Using EdTech to Close Education Gaps
Famous French sociologist Emile Durkheim once said, “Education is the only image and reflection of society”.

Because of this, there is an ever-increasing need for schools to be more sophisticated in their approach to IT, regardless of capability, budget, or knowledge.
How Manufacturers are Using Technology to Meet Old and New Challenges
Manufacturing is a vital sector of the Australian economy, contributing to 5.4% of GDP1 and employing almost 900,000 people in 2022.2 Though in July of this year Australian manufacturers reported pandemic-era lows.
