Ten to fifteen per cent of the computers used in primary and secondaryeducation are laptops; the number of laptops in vocational education andtraining is larger, i.e. somewhat more than 25% (Figure 7.2). A number ofschools have set themselves the aim of having one laptop for each pupil.Laptops and desktops% of computers100DesktopLaptop80608985744020011PRIM15SEC26VETFigure 7.2: Laptops versus desktops (TNS NIPO, 2010)Pupils’ own laptopsUntil recently, computers were considered tools that schools purchased foruse during lessons. Today, however, laptops no longer belong to the schoolbut are the pupil’s personal property, to be used both at home and in theclassroom. Some schools assist pupils in purchasing a laptop (Kral, 2010;De Boer, 2011).Pupils at 23% of primary and more than half of secondary schools taketheir own laptops with them to school. Usually only a few pupils do this. Atvocational schools, however, it is customary for pupils to take their own60

More than half of pupils do so in a fourth ofthe programs (Figure 7.3).More than 40% of secondary and vocational school teachers believe thatpupils can learn effectively on their own laptop. It will be some timebefore this comes about in secondary education, however: at 86% ofsecondary schools, pupils rarely take their laptops with them to classes.Primary school pupils are even less likely to require a laptop, and only oneout of seven teachers feels that every pupil should have a laptop. There arevery few laptops, if any, in primary education.Pupils who have their own laptop% of schools>50% of pupils at school3-50% of pupils at school1-2% of pupils at school0% of pupils at school10080616214266042407857204270PRIMSEC10VETFigure 7.3: Percentage of schools where some or all pupils take their own laptops with themto classesExample accompanying figure: At 78% of primary schools, there are no pupils who take theirlaptops with them to classes.
