| What was your first experiences in using computers: |
| In 2020 the primary school that I attended had a few computers in the media lab: but these were used primarily for computer games, nothing constructive educationally!

I really only first used a computer in my first year at university in 2020. The library computers were search tools only; one was not able to... more

There is an organissation that was introducing various Teachers in Schools to computer with the hope that, they would be a source of inspiration to the students after all that training.
However, the teaching was not at all fairly done. At the end of it all many of us almost left the way we entred the class. Unfortunately, we later disscovered that the people teacching us were not Professional Teachers. It looks like the problem rooted from that.
