Digital Education Strategy

10 The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (8 September 2022).

Will the government continue the work underway as part of the Department for Education's digital education strategy?

(a) What initiatives are currently underway as part of the strategy, and will they be supported in an ongoing manner?

(b) What measures are being put in place to distribute free and subsidised laptops to South Australian students and has proposed expenditure or timing on this initiative been adjusted since the election?

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised:

The Department for Education's Digital Strategy 2022 to 2025 is currently still underway.

Ensuring equity and access for all learners so that South Australian children and young people are equipped with the digital technologies and capabilities they need to live and thrive in a digital world, remains a key focus area for the government.

Several strategy initiatives are currently underway, including:

ICT foundations uplift.

Student home internet program.

Digital maturity assessment.

Digital Adoption Group.

Business improvement support.

ICT traineeships and pathways.

The department has also been working closely with schools to ensure that a personal digital device has been provided to all students that require one for the purpose of learning at school or at home.
