Anna Bligh promises 5,000 iPads for schools
news Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has promised that her Labor State Government will commit $5.7 million to deliver some 5,000 iPads to year 7 students across the state in a high-profile educational trial of the Apple tablets, should Labor retain power in the upcoming state election.
In a policy statement issued this afternoon (PDF) outlining the election pledge, Bligh’s Labor camp said the trial would be undertaken in 20 schools across the state and would be funded by the Queensland Education Trust, a fund being set up by the Government to funnel mining royalties into future development of the state.
