lpv:translated text	". The issue of new technologies and their application in education naturally generates considerable interest and is extremely important. As we all know, however, just giving every school a computer is not going to solve the problem. It is essential not just to enable schools to use appropriate technological infrastructures, both in terms of programmes and equipment, but the utmost attention must also be paid to teacher training. We must also create conditions that enable each and every student to have access to these technologies and to know how to use them. It is nevertheless important to emphasise that this Commission communication is very loosely defined and, in practice, is dependent on other, existing programmes, which have their own objectives. This initiative, therefore, does little more than propose to monitor the progress made in each Member State, rather than envisaging actions that could actually change the present situation and influence the future direction of widespread Internet use. For a country such as Portugal, unless there is a substantial reduction in the cost of access to the new technologies, and unless the standard of living of the most deprived families improves considerably, it will be hard to ensure that a high percentage of children and young people have equal opportunity of access to the new technologies."@en1
