Study reveals 'More studying on home computers'

Pupils are more likely to use computers for their schoolwork at home on a daily basis than they are to use them every day at school, according to a survey.

A study carried out in the UK for technology company Microsoft showed 37% of secondary pupils used computers for study every day at home.

This is a more intensive use than at school - where 30% of pupils were using computers each day.

The survey considered the computer use of 512 families with children.

The study reveals the increasingly pervasive use of technology for homework by pupils in their own homes.
