7.3 ConnectivityWe make a distinction between a school’s connection to the Internet, forexample by ADSL or optical cable, and its internal network (LAN) withshared Internet connectivity.Previous Monitor surveys revealed that almost every computer used inthe education sector has Internet access. Eight out of ten secondary andvocational schools have an optical fiber connection to the Internet. Thatis not the case in primary education, where only three out of ten schoolshave an optical fiber connection (Figure 7.6).In terms of Internet access inside the school, virtually all vocationalschools and two thirds of secondary schools have wireless Internet.Wireless Internet is less common in primary education (Figure 7.6). Of theschools that do not have wireless Internet, a fourth are planning to installit within two years.ConnectivityWireless% of schoolsOptical fiber100839083806760404329200PRIMSECVETFigure 7.6: Access to wireless Internet and optical fiber (TNS NIPO, 2010)64
7 - ICT infrastructureCompared with schools in neighboring countries, schools in theNetherlands are among the top in the European Union in terms of ICTinfrastructure. This applies equally to computer and Internet access(Eurydice, 2011).7.4 Summary• The ratio of computers to pupils at schools is the same as last year: onecomputer for every five pupils.• The majority of pupils in vocational education and training take theirown laptops with them to school. This happens much less in secondaryeducation, and scarcely at all in primary education.• The adoption of interactive whiteboards has gone much faster thanschool managers had anticipated in previous surveys: almost everyschool now has one or more interactive whiteboards. In primaryeducation, one out of two classrooms is equipped with an interactivewhiteboard; in secondary education, the ratio is 1:6 and in vocationaleducation and training 1:11. Expectations are that almost every primaryschool classroom will be equipped with an interactive whiteboardbefore long.• Wireless Internet and optical fiber connections are becoming standardat secondary schools and in the vocational education and trainingsector.65
