SPECIAL ISSUE:


-  Personal Computers in Education

For the last decade, America has invested heavily in programs to
place personal computers in schools.  We report on what our
nation has accomplished so far and where we're headed. The prognosis
is not encouraging.

-  Commentary/Jerry Borrell

Congress and the Bush Adminstration are at loggerheads over
who'll take the lead in getting personal computers to work in
the classroom.


- Conspicuous Consumer / Deborah Branscum

What has kept computers from being integrated in public schools?
Inadequate support, training, research, money, and will.


- Separate Realities /  Charles Piller

The failure of U.S. public schools to arm students with
computing skills means many may never effectively compete in
our technological world.


- The Official Word / Morton Kondracke

Our government's education policy claims to promote computer
literacy - but do the results back up the rhetoric?


- The World View / Jean Cassagne and Toru IIyoshi

Thought they face similar obstacles to implement computer-based
learning, some countries are moving ahead of the United States -
as these special reports from France and Japan show.
