Abstract
This IDC study focuses on the education sector in Australia,
providing a map of where short- and long-term opportunities can
be found, and highlighting purchasing patterns for products and services
by market. This IDC study is part of a series
of reports focusing on specific vertical markets. Provided are actual
ICT market sizing and IT market share for 2008, along
with forecasts for 2009 through 2013, including the five-year compound
annual growth rates (CAGRs).
"Globalisation and rapid technological change have made
knowledge a critical determinant of competitiveness in the world economy.
With globalisation, the information revolution, and increasing demands for a
highly skilled workforce, it is clear that nations must accord
high priority to building the capacity to effectively utilise technology
in education. The government' s Digital Education Revolution (DER) initiative recognises
that Australian students need greater access to and more sophisticated
use of ICT. They need the best hardware, high-speed broadband
connections, quality digital content, and well-trained teachers to integrate technology
into teaching and learning," says Melissa Martin, senior market analyst,
IT Spending and Vertical Markets, IDC Australia.
