To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to review its target of providing an e-mail address for every school child by 2002 in light of the decision by the Cabinet of the National Assembly of Wales to review a similar pledge because of concerns over safety and security of pupils.
Answer
We already have. On 21 March this year I announced that the Executive was setting up a working group to review existing advice to schools and education authorities on the safe use of the internet. At the same time, the Executive wrote to education authorities with guidance on implementing current targets for pupil e-mail addresses. The guidance suggested that for younger pupils in primary schools, schools might consider class e-mail addresses more appropriate than individual ones. It also underlined the need to have appropriate technical and human checks in place to protect pupils. The working group has been asked to consider issues relating to the safe use of e-mail, and I expect to receive its report in October.
