Although Pinkerton Academy and Kim Lien High School students have similar physical access to computers at home and similar IT literacy, Pinkerton Academy students use computers more often than those at Kim Lien High School.

In this case, the Digital Divide in education exists only at school in terms of physical access and usage of computers.

• Vietnamese students have high awareness of the important role that computers play in their future occupations. Therefore, lack of awareness or acceptance of technology is not the major issue.
• Vietnamese students have difficulty in accessing computers at school. The number of courses requiring computers for assignments is low, and the students do not often use computers at school for schoolwork. This indicates that Human resources are the main barrier. The curriculum should be modified to incorporate technology. Teachers should be trained to use computers as part of their teaching method.

We hope to inform the two schools as well as students, parents, educators, policy makers, and the general public of the results of our study. In February 2005, we have informed Pinkerton Academy as well as Kim Lien High School of the main results of this study. Currently Dr. Tuan Tran is helping us to write a newspaper article on the survey and we hope to get them published in both the US and Vietnam.

The main aim of this study is to describe the current status of the Digital Divide. By puting this report on the eDivide website, we hope to share our results with all of you.
