SNP ministers have been accused of failing to keep their promise to give free laptops or tablets to West Dunbartonshire schoolchildren – after it emerged that 17 percent have been bought new devices.
During the 2021 Holyrood election campaign, the SNP claimed they would deliver “into the hands of every school child in Scotland a laptop, Chromebook or tablet to use in school and at home”.
John Swinney likened the pledge on new devices to teachers “in his day” handing jotters to pupils.
