Az Edupage ma'r magyarul is olvashato  (ekezetek nelkul), es ingyenesen
megrendelheto a <subs-edupage at hungary.com> cimen. Ez a valtozat azonban
nehany napos kesesben van az eredeti angol valtozathoz kepest.  Az
alabbiak az altalam legerdekesebbnek talalt hirek azok szamara, akik nem
jaratjak sem az angol, sem a magyar valtozatot.

BRITAIN LEADS THE PACK IN COMPUTER LITERACY
According to the 1997 European Computer Literacy Report, Great Britain has
the highest computer-to-student ratio in the world, and fully a third of
British households now contain a computer, higher even than their estimation
of 28% of U.S. PC households.  Home usage in the U.K. is soaring, up 45% in
less than two years, and every primary school in the country has at least
one computer.  About 20% of British households have Internet access and the
same proportion owns two computers.  "For the second year running, Britain
is ahead of the world in terms of computer use which means an increasingly
computer literate population," says one of the report's researchers.
"Britain's primary and secondary school pupils have greater access to IT
than those in other European countries, the U.S., Canada and Japan." Britain
has spent more than a billion pounds on information technology in schools
since 1979.  (ZD-Net 3 Sep 97)
