Only 20 pct of Czech schoolteachers use computers in class

Only 20 percent of Czech schoolteachers use computers in class, according to a survey by the Czech education ministry released on Wednesday. Most computers in Czech schools are out of date, and 44 percent of them are older than five years. The schools complain that they do not have the funds to afford modern IT technology as state subsidies designed for computers and other IT equipment have decreased by 80 percent in the last three years.
