All schools that use ICT equipment should implement preventative maintenance
measures. This applies to schools running standalone computer equipment as well
as to those that have computer networks.
Internal or external technical support staff carry out most of the preventative
maintenance activities in the school. If your school’s technical support is provided
by an external party, you can use the information on preventative maintenance tasks
to ensure that they are performing the tasks necessary to keeping your network
running at peak performance.
