This survey examines the availability and use of computers and instructional applications of computers in public and private schools in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Of the 805 schools surveyed, 669 responded with usable data. During the 1987-88 school year, 97% of the responding schools indicated that they used computers. It was also found that there were 8,538 computers in the schools, a 21% increase over the last survey; a total of 2,261 printers in the schools, a 44% increase over the last survey; approximately 35% of the schools had modems; and word processing and student records were the most frequent administrative applications. Respondents from the 669 schools reported that 115,304 students were enrolled in "computer studies courses," and the student-to-computer ratio was calculated at approximately 24:1 for the 1987-88 school year. Schools reported spending over $2.5 million on educational technology hardware and software during the 1987-88 school year. (6 graphs) (EW)
