Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rose Report.

Rose Report

Does my hon. Friend welcome the recognition in the interim report that we are seeing the emergence of digital natives, almost, with young people who have sparkling aptitudes and abilities, and who sometimes out-stretch their teachers? Does he hope that the final report in April will focus a little more on the need to bridge the enormous digital divide or void that there can be between the ICT skills and knowledge of young people from different socio-economic backgrounds? Should that not be a priority?
