That one presenter in Nairobi most likely belongs to a company that can afford USD400 an hour, and for which this makes good business sense since using this conferencing platform will cut down on travel and related costs. <br>
<br>In the next few years, I expect that it would be a lot more affordable and effective if the Ministry of Education got a grip on those FPE and other funds that inexplicably go safari, generally tidies up its business, trains teachers, makes enough teachers available throughout the country, reduces class size etc - a whole bunch of very common-sense measures. <br>
<br>For primary school pupils in particular, a teacher right in front of them who can walk around the class is important. They are still learning to learn - it&#39;s not a matter of sitting them down in front of a feed of information. <br>

</font></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Robert,<br><br>Perhaps you should wait until the govt finalizes on the plans to roll out 4G/LTE platform, then we can start discussing the possibility of the options raised by you? To use your own examples, do you suppose there is 3G in Moyale? Is there WiMax in Chepalungu?<br>


Broadband (forget 3G in this case as it only works well when there is no voice traffic) connectivity is still very wanting in KE.<br>You should not be overexcited about this. <br></div></div><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>
