According to the report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), education systems which have invested heavily in information and communications technology have seen "no noticeable improvement" in Pisa test results for reading, mathematicsor science.
Andreas Schleicher, the OECD\'s education director, says school technology had raised "too many false hopes". Commenting on the varied results of the report, he says the impact of technology on student performance is mixed at best.
Here is what the report says:
• Students who use computers very frequently at school get worse results.
• Students who use computers moderately at school, such as once or twice a week, have "somewhat better learning outcomes" than students who use computers rarely.
• The results show "no appreciable improvements" in reading, mathematics or science in the countries that had invested heavily in information technology.
• High achieving school systems such as South Korea and Shanghai in China have lower levels of computer use in school.
• Singapore, with only a moderate use of technology in school, is top for digital skills.
