M5E 1A4 MINISTRY 0F CONSUMER AND COMMERCIAL RELATIONS THE LIQUOR LICENCE ACT, 1975 Board to buy word pro cess equipment for the sehools I The Durham Board of Education may spend as much as $286,000 on micro- coniputers and word processing equipment. The board has approved of the idea, in principle, and the equipment will be used ini the instruction of Durham students in the use of com- puters. The computer study conimittee proposed that the board introduce the system on a controlled basis in both elementary and secondary schools. Each secondary school giving computer science and data processing courses will receive about $15,565 for the program. There will be about 12 schools eligible for the program giving a cost of $186,780. A mobile computer program wiIl be used for elementary schools at a cost of $56,795. High school technology departments teaching com- puter technology will receive $2,000 for the program, giving a total of $20,000. In an effort to lease word processing equipment and provide in-service training a provision of $20,000 was proposed for the 1980 budget but was deferred, however, by the budget-audit commit- tee. The board also heard a recommendation that it make a committment, in principle, to add programs and equipment in future years after an annual evaluation. Trustee Linda Carder, of Pickering, told the board that she was concerned that students believed that they had left school with com- mercial training only to discover that this is not s0 because of a lack of training in word processing. Whitby Trustee David Sixns, chairman of the budget-audit committee, did not thing that his committee was the right one to study the idea. '"We are trying to flush out the pedagogical objectives and goals of the whole program and I don't feel that -'s for budget-audit to decide," he said. Sims recommended that it go te the program and curriculum committee before it cornes to his com- mittee but receive no sup- port from his felluw truste'ts. YOU DON'T PAY FOIR YOUR MISTAKES j M.B.M.
