Venezuela '1to1' ... getting there

Announced at the end of September:

The Venezuelan government has signed an agreement with Portugal that will bring 1million low-cost notebooks, which are based on the Intel Classmate PC design, to the South American country. In July, Portugal signed an agreement with Intel to bring 500,000 Classmate PCs to that country, and now the Portuguese OEM manufacturing those laptops will supply these Intel Atom-based laptops to Venezuela.

So the Venezuelan Government has seen a way to get/keep its young people somewhere near the front as the world goes even flatter. I wonder, with all money being spent on BSF and the Primary Capital Programme whether some such initiative should have been included for all of our children/students.

Perhaps it has been considered and I missed it.
