ICT has a wide range of functions in education such as: communication, learning tools, administration, information sources and distance learning. ICT has therefore had a considerable impact on education; for example, the national curriculum requires that children learn to use computers at an early age so that as they progress through secondary, tertiary and tertiary education, they are then adept at using application software. Therefore, ICT is used in almost all subjects taught to students, be it English, mathematics, modern foreign languages, etc. ICT in the pastIn the early 1980s, Britain introduced computers into schools. Due to insufficient government investment, each school had only one computer. Many schools did not use computers because teachers were not properly trained and therefore could not manage them. Additionally, there was no simple upgrade policy, so a full purchase often meant schools soon had obsolete hardware. Moreover, information and communication technologies, whatever they were, were used only by fascinated teachers, but they were not taught as a separate subject.
