  Drive past any secondary school in the UK and you'll see an 
institution that is struggling. No: this is not a column about academic 
standards, dumbing down, bureaucracy, Ofsted or any of the other 
obsessions of the Daily Mail .

In fact, many of these struggling schools are academically excellent. 
What they are having difficulty with is something much more mundane 
than teaching or learning. They are trying - and failing - to manage 
their IT systems.
