Queensland Liberal senator Brett Mason blasted the Government, saying the Department of Education had admitted last week there was no time frame for delivering the promised fast internet connections and no cost estimate.
"In the meantime, those lucky few among the million secondary students who would have received a computer on their desk will basically just have glorified typewriters to use," he said
Latest figures show 220,000 of the promised one million computers are on students' desks, leaving the Government 22 months to deliver the rest to meet its deadline
In the latest setback to hit the digital education revolution, the rollout of fast broadband in schools has stalled while the Government investigates how to make its $43 billion National Broadband Network a reality.
Education Queensland said there were currently no state schools with high-speed broadband access.
