The piloting of the project is ongoing. The photos can attest to that.

i still don't think this laptop project should have been the priority in education sector reforms.Employing more teachers, paying them better and building more schools should have been the first step.Then Govt. Should have started adding computers in high/secondary schools and continued working its way down to primary schools.

I thought one day Uhuru said that he will not look at making salaries better for the teachers but make sure that he prepares the future generations by investing more on children. Thats exactly what the laptop project is supposed to achieve

Lets expose these kids at an early age. That way, they may not need a lot of catching up when they meet their town peer later in life.

its all about the amount of money for each of those items. laptops are not as expensive as you think. the amount per year is cheaper than 'employing more teachers', 'building more schools' and paying 250k teachers better.

Which begs the questions- Should emphasis be on cost or value of education? I agree its cheaper but you will still have teachers in those classrooms. Shouldn't the Govt's first emphasis be on improving current conditions.Most public schools are in deplorable conditions, laptops will not be very effective on those kids at the school's current state.

@YoungMulla, It's quite the opposite. We do not need more teachers or schools to reach more kids. More innovative ways like digital content, more learning spaces ( away from the traditional schools) is the way to go.
