According to the newspaper Público, the Azores is going to invest in the acquisition of two thousand laptops for the equipping of schools of the first cycle of basic education in the archipelago.
In response to the interruption of the distribution of Magalhães computers in the current school year, the Azorean government opted for an alternative that aims the integration of computers in schools and not in the student “as opposed to the philosophy that existed at the time of Magalhães computers”, explains the regional secretary for Education, Claudia Cardoso.
For Claudia Cardoso, the difference between this project and ‘e.escolinha’ is the fact that computers do not belong to students but to school, considering that most it is more important that schools provide computer to “service the student than to be the student in possession of the computer.
