What Minister Gillard did outline is that our promise was to provide access to a computer for every student from years 9 to 12. On 5 March we opened round 1 of our funding initiative, the first $100 million of the $1 billion digital education revolution, inviting 937 schools from across Australia to make a submission. These schools were identified as having a ratio of one computer for every eight students or worse in a recent national audit. The government are now implementing those policies consistent with our election commitments.
