"The use of IT in learning is now sufficiently common in schools that it should be included in the curriculum of all students in initial training" HMI, back in 1987! I'm spending the afternoon in the archives...

By 1988: "SoS has responded to HMI's report and to pressure from IT advisers by setting up a working group to report on ways in which IT training can be given to all teachers in ITT, and how good practice might be spread"
