Was this a research? If so what was the methodology used? Kenya was full of praise for starting free secondary education. Although we have some challenges in terms of connectivity we are not that bad. Ndemo.
Its a new way of measuring connectivity do you agree with the verdict on Kenya?

Good Mobile Access Fails To Boost Weak Connectivity Rating
Kenyas performance on the 2009 Connectivity Scorecard places it nearly at the bottom of the nations sampled. In almost every consumer and business measure of connectivity, Kenya failed to achieve a passing score. Exceptions include an above average proportion of the population provided with mobile access, and a relatively high literacy rate. Kenya displays one of the worst secondary school enrolment rates out of all the countries surveyed, along with weak broadband and internet penetration. Bandwidth availability is also quite low. Kenyas E-Government ranking falls below the median.
Despite a history of innovation, notably in the mobile segment, Kenyas economic progress is held back by a lack of investment in human development in order to provide workers with the skills necessary to drive an ICT-based economy. Regulation of the telecommunications sector has also slowed development of the broadband services required to create a more sophisticated business infrastructure.
