There was a time when school management computers belonged in the office and computers for learning belonged in the classroom. A case of 'Never the twain shall meet!' Those days are gone and learners, teachers and managers all need access to these business-critical systems both in school and beyond the confines of the school buildings and the school day. Recent policy initiatives around learning platforms and real-time reporting have underlined the need for a holistic approach to the use of ICT to support the needs of learners, and the needs of their parents and teachers too. These are some of the issues this Naace conference helped to address
