According to a report on education, computers will soon be taking over from schoolteachers.
Greater use of PCs in the classroom will offer pupils « exciting new ways to personalise their learning »
Instead of going on field trips they will take virtual tours.If they’ve got any questions, they will be able to access chatrooms or e-mail online teachers who will have been « liberated from their traditional role as the fount of all knowledge »
Children will be encouraged to « adapt the programme to their individual needs » and « learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment. »
Education authorities welcomed this « excellent document » which would « improve the quality of learning » and end teacher shortages at the same time.
In addition to that, in the past person literate meant who can’t read or write yet in nowadays person literate meant who can’t use the PC.
