The issue is that it can be of great benefit. There are schools, countries and systems which are very modern. Finland is very modern in some respects, but we were struck that, when we asked people about it, it was a choice they made in that school, which was doing very well. There are two sides to the story. I am very favourable towards technology, but I can see there is another point of view.

I will ask the delegation to wrap up as another group is due to make a presentation. Are there any final comments, in particular on what the committee could do?
