Information and Communications Technology, a key area integrated across many of the primary curriculum subjects, is being outsourced to a private commercial company “Futurekids” at significant cost to parents in some schools around Ireland.
It has come to the attention of the Campaign for Commercial Free Education that children are being charged in the region of €50 per term in some schools to avail of the computers and technology programmes offered by Futurekids.
