Sounds like a good Labour policy

Stuff reports:

Labour is planning two major announcements, expected to include a plan to provide iPads or laptops to school students, at its three-day congress starting in today.

In 2011 Labour said it would spend $75 million over four years to put laptops into the hands of 31,000 year 7 to year 13 students in low-decile , but it is expected to drop the plan to target the policy and make it universal at a much higher cost.

sounds like it could be quite a good policy. I think we should be aiming for every student to have an capable device they can learn on.

Labour is also tipped to announce plans to upgrade schools and reallocate the $359m that the Government earmarked in January for specialist teachers and principals.

But I don't want it either or. Paying out best teachers more, to share their success is also vital.
