"The state should do everything to ensure that every young person has a good start, regardless of their parents' financial capabilities," the government explained for this gift.
370,000 students, who will start fourth grade this September, will receive laptops. Why was this specific level of education chosen?
The Prime Minister's Office explains that this is when computer science classes begin, and children at this age are best suited to start developing digital skills across various subjects.
The purchase of computers for fourth graders will cost 760 million PLN plus VAT.
Throwing Money Away
Last year, computers were distributed to about 218,000 students from post-state farm areas. Even then, as noted by bezprawnik.pl, there were doubts about whether such support was necessary for every family. In many cases, it turned out that the computers went to wealthy homes where families had long since bought them for their children.
The same will be true for the 370,000 laptops for fourth graders. Money spent on a laptop for a child from a wealthy family is like throwing it away.
The same goes for the 500 plus program, which is received by all children and youth up to 18 years old. However, the government avoids discussions on this topic and changes in the law.
