School rules
Article Abstract:
Secondary school pupils in the UK have more access to computers than their contemporaries in any other G7 country, according to a recent report on leading industrial countries. Among all UK schools, each computer is being shared by an average of 10 pupils. Schools are making considerable efforts to ensure that computers are used as a tool in all aspects of the curriculum. Many schools with financial constraints are now purchasing less powerful sub-notebook machines which can only undertake word-processing and spreadsheets.
