NSW goverment Free Laptops?

Question

is it true the NSW board of studies is giving every highschool student a free laptop?

Answer 1

This was an election promise but if Kevin Rudd tries to keep it, it will cost him more than $2.5 billion. Julia Gillard has already backtracked and said Rudd meant that every high school student will have ACCESS TO a laptop, not at all the same thing. Don't hold your breath!

Answer 2

HA!!!!!!!!

seriously how old are you? don't you know by now that only the election promises that don't cost the government money come to fruition!!!

Answer 3

There is no way they can afford this right now.

With the cost of sending our troops over to where the war is happening, along with fixing up cityrail lines and building new train lines, and with the cost with schools already as it is, theres no way they can afford it.

Kevin Rudd just made a statement similar to this so he could win over parents hearts and make parents think that their children will receive a better education.
