It is exciting to have graduated 91 faimilies now. We are starting to get some very positive feedback.
UCOL Whanganui, our project partner undertook a telephone survey of families participating in the project. They found a high number reported it a positive, empowering experience. The survey coordinator noted “It became obvious to me during the course of the conversations that the Computers in Homes project had made a significant difference to the families involved”.
Schools are pleased to have families using their resources and being on school property. They have noted the enthusiasm of parents and their involvement in learning, strengthening of parent child relationships, improved child school achievements, and parents connecting to school in other ways, i.e. parent teacher associations, volunteering to help in classes and more informal consultation re school matters. One of the Dec 2006 Graduates from Kura Kokohuia has become teacher for the second class.
