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. Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

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 Life is an endless adventure

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. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

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. Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

@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.

That's what am talking about, it's an innovative idea but first create a condusive environment for it like teachers and well-built schools then bring in the laptops Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

 I supported Jubilee, but one thing i realized is that it's all about goggles... This project is entirely useless and a waste of public resources. Ask any wazuan whether with the laptops in public schools, he'll take his child to a public school and the answer will be a BIG NO!!! Reason? Those schools lack basic facilities.. This same person will take his child to a private school that doesn't have computers, but where children LEARN. Anyone who has a simple understanding of the mess in public schools (I'm not talking about Muthaiga primary or Nairobi Primary,)will be traumatized by the thought of taking laptops to schools with a population of 700 pupils and 6 teachers On Christ Alone

This project will be implemented in phases and there are so many public schools across the country that already have the capacity to fully implement the project. We also seem to forget that the govt set aside funds to employ more teachers.
