The previous Government's promises did not materialise. I call on the Leader to ensure that in addition to providing all schools with high speed broadband access, all classrooms are equipped with a digital board. Sometimes we have broadband but if we do not have the digital boards and the equipment to go with it, we are really not fulfilling anything. Will they be introduced also? Will the Minister come back to the House to debate the possibility of introducing further technology into classrooms by considering laptops for every student, which is an issue I raised earlier in the year? In the long run, it would be more economical plus there would be health benefits in terms of students' backs.
