Computeach has acquired a reputation for excellence that is the envy of training organisations worldwide.

The CASp programme has been designed for English-speaking people throghout the world who wish to learn at home or whilst on the move, without attendance at a fixed centre. Over the decades Computeach has maintained close contact with professional bodies, government departments and market leaders in all trades and professions.

The Butler Education Act in Britain is a radical departure in education. Northern Ireland has adopted a policy of parity with West-
minster whereby government acts will be mirrored in Northern Ireland, with any additional cost being met by the British exchequer. 
In the early 1940s it is estimated that there are only 13800 students in the few exclusive fee paying secondary grammar schools. 
As with secondary education, third level education is the preserve of the middle class. There are only 24 scholarships on offer from
the local education authorities. 

In 1997

The Education (Northern Ireland) Act 1947 is closely modelled on the Butler Act. The main tenets of the act are that education will be
compulsory for all children up to the age of 15. Primary education will end at 11 when children will be assessed by tests which will
determine what type of secondary school they will attend. Facilities such as milk and dinners are made available. The funding for the
Voluntary (Catholic) schools is raised to 65%.
