And IT staff in schools, from experience are poor at the best of times as the school system is more about profit than supplying decent IT. Academies are worse. Certain staff such heads need the lastest macbook and ipads but other staff have to use their personally purchased laptops.
Feels like the number of people taking the piss is out of control.
It'll be interesting to see how these get deployed and on what timescale. The organisation I work for has around 4,000 16-18yr olds, and during the first lockdown our deployment of devices was an utter nightmare. We don't have the resources (both human and hardware) internally to bulk configure devices to our build spec, and none of our systems can be used until this is done. Also, it's the same IT department who are supposed support all the devices in the wild with their skeleton staff.
