Every Adult In Scotland Given Money To Take Computer Classes
from the learn-learn-learn dept
Apparently, Scottish officials believe that adults there are a bit too computer illiterate, so they're offering £100 to any adult who wants to take a basic computer training class. It's not clear how far that money will go (and, the fact that everyone gets it may simply drive up the cost of some classes), but it's an interesting way of pushing computer literacy on adults who may have avoided computers before.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
