Answer
The Education Authority (EA), through C2K and the Education Information Solutions Programme (i.e. EdIS), provides and manages the critical technology infrastructure and core provision of IT equipment, including digital devices, across the school’s estate. The EA does not ask parents for any financial contribution for laptops, tablets or any other technology used in schools.
