Classrooms Get Laptop Each Under New Scheme
Ireland's classrooms are to get a teaching laptop, software and a digital projector over the next three years as part of a new €150 million investment in “smart schools”. Taoiseach Brian Cowen today launched the new initiative for schools yesterday. Speaking at the launch, Minister for Education Batt O’Keeffe acknowledged Ireland was playing “catch-up’’ on technology for schools after years of under investment. He expressed confidence that the new €150 million, three-year package would be accompanied by the roll-out of broadband connectivity to every school in the State.
