The National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE) was established in 1998 to promote ICT use in teaching and learning. It aims to support teachers and students through initiatives like providing broadband access to schools, offering ICT professional development courses for teachers, developing digital curriculum resources on Scoilnet, and supporting innovative school projects exploring new uses of technology. The NCTE works with industry partners and other government agencies to achieve its goals of integrating ICT into the education system and preparing students for living and working in a digital society.
