There is something that Dr. Ndemo has pointed out: Bureacracy is slowing things down. While technology changes on a daily basis, our system of doing things decelerates everything. However, all these come as a result of people not willing to adapt to change or seeing anything new as a threat to status quo. This skepticism is a major challenge to reforms in all the sectors of national development agenda. I hope after Wednesday' plebiscite, we shall have a change in the mindset.

Okech,
I'm a bit baffled that we still need ICT teachers or good facilitators in this age.
I ponder on these question. Has anyone considered E-Education? Why not build a centralised E-ICT education system that can be accessed from anywhere in kenya? The study material can accessed remotely, be bundled on disc players or even mp3 format. A centralised testing centre with remote access can provide the exam facilities, under supervision.
If there is a shortage of ICT teachers, we should be looking at E-Education as a solution to these problems. The rest of the world is doing it, why are we stuck with the human element?
Just some thoughts on my part,
Regards.
