The Federal Government has delivered half of the computers it promised to every school student in years nine to 12, a Senate hearing has heard.
After question marks had arisen over the combined efforts of the federal government, COAG and state and territory authorities to audit the state of IT in Australia's secondary schools as the first step in Labor's so-called "digital education revolution", the Department of Education has announced today that the audit is complete.
The Opposition spokesperson for education has accused the Labor government of trying to back-pedal on its commitment to provide a laptop for every student between years 9 and 12.
Tender negotiations for the AU$1.09 billion Access Card will continue despite the government being forced to review the card's legislation following a Senate Committee report.
