ASTI - Ireland's main second level teachers union

<- Back to: Press Releases

 

ASTI welcomes the announcement by the Tánaiste today of further allocation of funding for computers in schools.

 

Pat King, General Secretary, underlined that this funding is vital - and long overdue. During the years of the Celtic Tiger, our second level students had the lowest access to technology in classrooms compared to their European peers.   Today's announcement will put a laptop and a digital projector into every classroom in every second level school in the country.

 

The integration of new technologies into teaching and learning will ensure that our young people are leaving school well equipped for the modern workplace which relies more and more on technology.
