One of the issues with this statement is that currently students are mainly
leaving the education system under the mis-apprehension that they need to
use certain bits of software to achieve certain functions - eg office type
work requires Microsoft Office and Graphics requires Adobe Photoshop.
 Putting these limitations on our students and population is not really
acceptable or ethical.  There really needs to be something factored into
this ICT statement that asks students to be aware of the fact that there is
choice as to what tool or bit of software they can use and they need to be
practiced at making these choices.

There is an opportunity to leave feedback on this site and so influence the
evolution of the Australian Curriculum.
