QLD:Glitches delay new Qld school computer program

The final roll out of a new computer system in Queensland schools will be delayed until
next year because of a number of mix ups with bill payments.

The One School computer system was to be rolled out next month to all state schools
to help with financial accounts.

But ALEX SCOTT from the union representing the public service sector says a trial over
the June/July holidays was a disaster, with 95 per cent of union members who used the
system reporting issues.

And late yesterday the government announced it would delay the roll out to give the
education department time to fix glitches and support administrators.
