Computers are a relatively new addition to New Zealand schools, as they are at schools in other countries. They are now an important part of the school program, both inside and outside the classroom. There is a notable gender difference here. Boys have taken a much greater interest in computers than girls. At school this is somewhat different. As far as academic uses in school goes there is not such a difference, either in the classroom or the library. It is recreational usages that the difference emerges and perhaps more importantly advanced computer usage such as programming. The great interest of children in computer gaming is largely an activity persued often with great intersity by boys. Computer clubs or courses like programing without immediate academic relevance.
