The notebooks will be only for industrial schools. To the minister Tedesco "The aim is educational but also social equity."

The computers will be owned by the State and not the students, will begin shipping in the second half of the year between students from nearly 800 colleges and over 300 industrial agriculture.
As anticipated the Minister of Education Juan Carlos Tedesco, this first stage of the plan "A student, a computer," is part of a larger project that aims to provide a laptop to every student in Argentina.
