It is disappointing that the Government should have implemented a tax on computers at this time when so much attention is being paid to the improvement of literacy and education. Literacy must also include computer literacy, and is geared not only at our children, but also at our adults, senior citizens and pensioners who now must acquire certain other basic skills in order to generate other opportunities for income to survive!

Even outside this need is the fact that so much information regarding Government objectives, decisions and national issues is available on a plethora of websites to which we are referred and indeed must access.

Another incentive lies in the blossoming career for computer repair technicians and maintenance personnel which will be threatened.

Let us log on to a better future for education.

I am, etc.,
