The Digital Divide World
Wide
Education Week (May 6, 2004; www.edweek.org),
"Global Links: Lessons from the World," reports that there is
great disparity shown in children's access to computers in lower secondary schools.
For example, looking at the number of students per computer we find...
5 in Australia
5 in USA
6 in Norway
7 in Canada
8 in United Kingdom
8 in Singapore
10 in Russia
11 in France
12 in Japan
14 in Israel
23 in Mexico
26 in Brazil
62 in Thailand
123 in South Africa
238 in Bulgaria
Of course, early childhood programs in most countries are on the short side
of the digital divide. To see about the impact of technology in early
childhood programs, check out and participate in the Exchange Insta-Poll
