Can Overall IWB Provision be explained by School Type?<br />
It might be assumed that certain types of schools are more likely to have greater<br />
IWB provision – as measured by how small the pupil/IWB intensity ratio is 5 . For<br />
example, schools with a technology specialism might be expected to have used part<br />
of their capital grant for specialist designation to purchase IWBs. However, Figure<br />
shows there is surprisingly little difference in IWB provision between specialist types:<br />
the only group with notably better IWB provision is the Science specialist schools.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact that technology schools IWB provision is almost identical to that at nonspecialist<br />
schools could be explained by the fact that they mostly received specialist<br />
status (<strong>and</strong> hence initial capital grant) at a time when IWBs were new <strong>and</strong> very<br />
expensive; 18 of 24 technology schools in the survey received their specialist status<br />
prior to 2002.<br />
5 For this section 10 schools with an intensity ratio of over 300 are excluded since they are extreme outliers.<br />
