Book spending vs. computer kind

If you’ve wondered about the need to get books optionally on computer screens–a major goal of the TeleRead plan–check out this UK-related BBC item.

Schools spend more than five times as much on computer-based resources as on books, an analysis suggests.

Primary schools spent £70m on books in 2004-05 and secondary schools £80m, whereas all schools spent £426.3m on ICT resources not including computers.
