The Computing for All plan (Plan Informatique pour Tous – IPT) was a French government plan to introduce computers to the country's 11 million pupils. A second goal was to support national industry. It followed several introductory computer science programs in schools since 1971. The IPT plan was presented to the press on January 25, 1985 by Laurent Fabius, Prime Minister at the time.[1] It aimed to set up, from the start of that school year, more than 120,000 machines in 50,000 schools and to train 110,000 teachers.[2] Its estimated cost was 1.8 billion francs, including 1.5 billion for equipment. The plan was abandoned in 1989.
