No more books? It’s all on computer

A Report From New NZ says Classrooms at Ferguson Intermediate School will become exercise-book free and pupils will be able to access lessons from their home computer within the next three years.

The school has one computer to every four students but is working towards providing online access to reports, exam results, study plans and every lesson in the curriculum.

Parents without computers can go to libraries or come to the school to access the online information, he says, but Ferguson Intermediate is looking at ways of providing cheap computers for students.
