THE Miles Government will distribute up to 140,000 free laptops to Queensland’s most disadvantaged students over the next three years.
This initiative aims to bridge the digital divide, providing essential tools for learning in today’s technology-driven world.
The program will target financially disadvantaged schools, with participating state schools contributing 50 per cent of the device’s value. Additionally, eligible families can apply for free home internet access through the School Student Broadband Initiative until December 2025.
This $152 million program builds on the 42,000 devices already provided since 2020, ensuring greater educational opportunities for all.
