Hardware in State Schools
The Education
Division has invested greatly in the provision of hardware to schools
and this has addressed the issue of availability. Reliability is perhaps
a more complex task to tackle with over 7000 computers, other hardware
and software available to teachers and students in schools. So many things
can go wrong with this and the possibility is inevitable.
The general aim is to ensure hardware and software reliability in schools
computer hardware, this is done through:
1. Providing an efficient way to report faults and monitor repair progress
2. Providing on-site first line technical support to teachers in their
classrooms
3. Carrying out necessary repairs in the shortest time possible
