I still fail to understand why they shouldn't just be allowed to use computers. This is a failure of the education system to adapt.

"still"? Do you mean you've had that lack of understanding before, not thought of any possible explanation, and then continued to not understand but be interested enough to post about it online? Surely even the briefest attempt to imagine a reason would come up with "they might use the computer to cheat" or "it's too expensive" or "they'll play games". Since they seem obvious, if you excluded such a possible reason, maybe you could mention that in your post so people don't unhelpfully tell you.

The explanation "they might use the computer to cheat" simply indicates to me that the education system is not keeping up with the times. As for "it's too expensive", Raspberry Pis go for like 30 GBP, those schools have computers anyway and everyone has a phone now. As for "they'll play games" I don't see how this is the concern of the school.
