Funding cuts to the Computers in Homes programme does not spell the end according to the trust that runs it.
The 20/20 Trust has confirmed funding cuts have put their Computers in Homes programme in jeopardy, however they see it as an opportunity to reevaluate the way in which the programme is delivered.
20/20 Trust executive director Stephen Carr says he is feeling optimistic about the programme's future, describing the cuts as a chance to take time to evolutionise Computers in Homes.
"After 16 years, we have had some amazing outcomes and are very proud of how Computers in Homes has been delivered over that time. However, a lot has changed in that 16 years, especially when it comes to the digital world. This is our chance to take a look at what the programme offers and ask ourselves if it could it be done differently or better?"
The programme provides digital skills training, technical support, computers and home internet to students' families in participating low-decile schools.
