Government plans to provide cheap broadband school children

[Mike]

UK education ministry is chalking out plans for providing cheaper broadband connections for the parents of secondary school and primary school students who do not have broadband connection at home.

The plan will feature 'online reporting' by connecting the intranet of school and will help the parents to know about the progress of their children in school.

According to report the campaign will be completed in two years and currently, discussions with the ISPs are going on to find out the ways to reduce the cost of internet connections for this section of people who still think that broadband is not affordable.

If you have a child in your home, you need to have some sort of parental control software to monitor and restrict their internet activities. Currently, only a few ISPs offer parental controls free of cost or it is offered with antivirus tools meaning you have to pay for it.
