More complex and valuable audio-visual items such
as micro-computers, television receivers, video-cassette
recorders and the wire-free loop systems used for language
learning are all maintained by agents under contract.
The current practice of designating teachers as
audio-visual co-ordinators, supported where necessary by
clerical staff and laboratory technicians is educationally
appropriate, effective and satisfactory. The provision of an
Audio-visual Technician is therefore not at present necessary.

The standard designs of primary and secondary schools
are being revised and the need for the use and storage of
audio-visual equipment has been taken into account.
In the proposed new design for primary schools,
consideration is being given to re-designing one of the three
Special Rooms for general purposes to facilitate the use of
audio-visual equipment. As with other Special Rooms, the
General Purpose Room will be provided with an adjacent store
room. The proposed schedule of accommodation also includes
a security store and a general store.

In the proposed new design for secondary schools,
while there is no purpose-built room for audio-visual equipment,
store rooms are provided adjacent to most Special Rooms for
the storage and maintenance of equipment including audio-visual
aids. In addition, consideration is being given to the
provision of a security store and a number of general stores.
