In a bid to save money, California is giving up text books in favour of internet based aids. It might sound bizarre but that is exactly what the California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has done. He has come up with a plan to save money by phasing out school textbooks in favour of internet aids. Gov Schwarzenegger wants to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in state spending each year. He says converting to online study will also help keep pupils more up-to-date. All this is prompted by the acute shortage of funds that California is facing. The budget gap is $24.3 billion which the Governor is trying to bridge.
