The Polish government has distributed the first 4,000 of almost 400,000 laptops it is providing to all pupils starting the fourth grade. The laptops, produced by Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus and Acer, are covered by a 36-month warranty. Teachers will receive vouchers to buy laptops from government-approved vendors. The government also will provide high speed internet connections to 100,000 classrooms. "The free laptops program is an element of pro-family policy, because public services, including education, are a very important area of life," said deputy family and social policy minister Barbara Socha. Parents can agree with the school that the laptop will stay with the student for five years or agree that the laptop remains school property loaned to the student.
