Digital Schools Partners

The National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE) was established under the auspices of the Department of Education and Science in 1998. As the Government's agency on the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in education it plays a central role in helping to maximise the benefits for learners and teachers in using ICT. NCTE is leading this initiative in partnership with CESI, INTO and the IPPN.

The Computer Education Society of Ireland (CESI) supports the development of methodologies that help to marry new technologies with a sound pedagogy. CESI promotes the practical implementation of ICT at school and classroom level.

The Irish National Teacher's Organisation is the largest teacher's organisation in Ireland representing over 30,000 primary school teachers throughout the country.

The Irish Primary Principals' Network (IPPN) is an independent, professional association of school leaders established in 2000. IPPN has a membership of 5,100 principals and deputy principals representing 90% of all primary schools.
