Uses 
In 2005 the (then) DfES published the e-strategy 'Harnessing Technology: Transforming learning & children's services. The remit for delivery of the e-strategy is with Becta, the national agency for ICT in schools and FE colleges. Graham Badman, Managing Director of Children, Families and Education for Kent County Council is a Becta Board member.
The e-strategy supports the following:
- National Digital Infrastructure - Strategic Technologies to support personalised learning, including broadband and Learning Platforms.
- School Improvement - ICT Self Review Framework
- Best Value Purchasing
- Helping Schools manage ICT.
- Kent LA is nationally recognised as a leader in the use of technology in education. Kent has invested in providing schools with a high capacity broadband network - the Kent Community Network. This provides the infrastructure for connected services.
- Kent is now rolling out the 'Kent Learning Zone', an innovative personalised e-learning infrastructure that can provide every child with a personal online learning space. The Kent Learning Zone is unique in offering schools a choice of virtual learning environments (VLE's) and services that can be 'plugged in'.
- Kent has a large number of Schools that are nationally recognised as leaders in the creative use of technology.
