Just incase you missed reading this one. KICTANet discussed this eventuality a while back. Read on!
The Ministry of Education has now suspended issuance of tablets to Class One pupils under the digital literacy programme, opting instead to build computer laboratories.
Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang has said that each of the 25,000 public primary schools will get one computer laboratory.
“There has been a policy change in programme from one child-one laptop to the construction of computer laboratories for ICT integration,” Dr Kipsang told National Assembly’s Education Committee while presenting budgetary proposals.
