Research has shown that more must be spent on books if school standards are to improve. A study from the Open and Staffordshire universities shows that the number of pupils having to do without books they need for homework or having to share them in class has risen since 1997. Yet there is a link between increased spending on books and improved standards.

The average secondary school spends £23 per pupil per year on textbooks (the lowest spend of any of the developed countries) and yet a study of 9000 pupils carried out by Keele University reveals that up to half of all key stage 3 pupils share books in class, and two-thirds do not have the books that they need for their homework.

Autology's cost-effective structure means that all students can be provided with the world’s most advanced technology. Autology is linked to more than three thousand pounds worth of all the textbooks, revision guides, encyclopaedias and multi-media resources students will ever need for less than 20% of what a school currently spends on text books. This is a whole school solution schools cannot afford not to have.

Since schools will not need to send textbooks home with students therefore there will be no need to spend on replacing lost and damaged texts.

The National Association of Head Teachers has said that schools are relying more and more on parents to make contributions to providing students with resources. This means that students are not being provided for equitably and fairly which not only affects student performance but such disparity undermines a teacher’s ability to teach. Autology provides all students with the most comprehensive range of support resources available at a cost effective price.

The average secondary school spends between £20 -30,000 on photocopying. The effective use of Autology can more than halve such a budget. Because staff can upload resources, without the need for manual tagging, there is less need to photocopy resources, saving time and reducing wastage.
