Virtually all Danish schoolchildren have access to computers and the Internet. But it is not reflected in their professional reading.

In an electronic PISA test places the Danish pupils themselves, as the students who most use computers in the subjects Danish, science and foreign languages, and using computers second-most in the subject of mathematics. 99.4 per cent of Danish pupils attend schools with access to computers, and 73 percent of the students have access to laptops. 99.1 per cent of Danish pupils attend schools with Internet access. The electronic reading test, where the numbers come, is a complement to the "real" PISA 2009 test. Along with 19 other countries, Denmark has chosen to complement the paper-based reading test with a test of how good the Danish 15-16 year olds to read, navigate and relate critically to electronic texts. The Danish pupils ranks as number 13 out of the 19 countries participating in the PISA survey of electronic literacy. Education Minister Troels Lund Poulsen takes note of the result. "The result is not very different from the paper-based PISA survey. The government has long been aware that schools need a significantly improved academically. I very much hope that it can manage to assemble a broad majority behind our ambitious school initiative, because we must not only have one of the world's most expensive schools, but also one of the world's best. The Government and the Local Government Association has just agreed an ambitious IT approach that is focused on digital learning resources that can help strengthen students' academic skills and prepare them for the future, "says Troels Lund Poulsen.
