Nearly all classrooms in the UK are now installed with interactive white boards, but for children in poorer countries, this kind of technology in schools is still a long way off. A campaign was launched back in 2005 which aimed to provide one laptop per child for students living in some of the world’s poorest places.

Although the project never quite reached its target in all places it was well received in many countries, Brazil being one, which purchased 150,000 laptops for the scheme. Some countries, such as Uruguay even pursued the project whole heartedly and managed to purchase a laptop for every child. Hopefully with the aid of these laptops the children living in deprived areas can get a worth while education.
