I had in mind such an idea.Free laptops for kids.
It's a project that has worked in some poor countries India and indonesia included.
The purpose was to make learning more interesting and revolutionalise how children are educated in this part of the world so it's not really a Laptop project rather an educational one.
EAC ADOPTS ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD INITIATIVE:2010
http://www.eala.org/media-centr...er-child-initiative.htmlThere's nothing new here if anything, we are behind things.
But challenges lay ahead.In some few countries programmes failed to work requiring technicians from the supplier company to fix the problems.
If that is well covered then we are talking about jobs for our youths.
The other challenge is Internet.
And what about the cost of implementing it? It's very expensive even though a laptop is estimated to cost apprx.$100
I would suggest that they do a pilot project first for a year and see if it will produce positive results.
I am however very optimistic and believe it can work if the kids first have desks and chairs to sit on.
