Proceeding contribution from Justin Tomlinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Calculators in Schools.


Calculators in Schools

I saw that happening on a visit to a Taiwanese school. The reason behind it was that the Taiwanese felt it was so essential to their economy to embrace new technologies. They thought that that was the way to improve mathematical and science skills, which was so important to them.
