Internet education plan gives m-learning a £30 million jump start

The UK government has triggered a major push by mobile companies to establish services for mobile learning (m-learning) with a £30 million universal internet access programme for schoolchildren. John Stokdyk reports.

At the BETT education technology event on 9 January, minister for schools Jim Knight announced that a further £30 million was going into the universal home access initiative to provide net access for the country's two million poorest school children.
