UK govt: Remote access for all pupils - Andrew Donoghue, ZDNet UK
The U.K. government has challenged schools, education organizations and the IT industry to create systems to allow all pupils in the United Kingdom to get access to the Internet outside school. Speaking at the BETT educational technology show in London's Olympia on Wednesday, schools' minister Jim Knight said the government wanted to make sure that pupils have Internet access at home or through after-school clubs. "The so-called digital divide cannot be allowed to create and reinforce social and academic divisions," Knight told an audience of educators and technical experts at an event to kick off the four-day show.
