> FREE LAPTOPS FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES
Free Laptop & Internet
More than 270,000 free laptops with broadband will be given away to low income families under a new Government scheme.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he wants all families to be linked up to their children’s schools via the internet. It will enable them to access reports on their attainment, behaviour and other needs.
To make that achievable, he will pledge £300m of investment to help poorer families who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Mr Brown was addressing an international education forum in Westminster today.
“We want every family to become a broadband family, and we want every home linked to a school,” he was due to say.
“For those finding it difficult to afford this, today I can announce the nationwide rollout of our home access programme to get laptops and broadband at home for 270,000 families.
