Each category was chosen to represent the primary school types currently existing in Jamaica. In each of these school types computers would be set up in configurations which, it was believed, would represent the possible computer configurations emerging in Jamaican primary schools.

The results of these experimentations would form the basis for drawing conclusions about the best ways to use computer technology in particular Jamaican school types.
