Elimu Portal - typos
This is a great initiative by the Ministry of Education, BUT why so many typos all over the website (I'm not even going to touch the poor design) - surely this is sending the wrong kind of message when a website focused on education and teachers has so many errors. E.g. "National Educational Portal for Kenya NEPK.<http://www.elimuportal.net/>This is an initiative for Teachers by Teachers to help educators share *Leaning* Materials, Lesson Plans amongst others to aid in the capacity development amongst Teachers. Teachers can *occasionslly* get *syllubus* updates from this portal and ensure they are practicing using up to date materials" PS Ndemo, any idea can we direct our complaints? Best, Ory
Goodness! There are tons of them! "neccecary", "remeber" "conjuction". Does the government have a guideline for all departments on publishing online? A quality assurance mechanism is needed (content, style, freshness of information etc). I'm sure there are people on this list and elsewhere who would be glad to help.

Ory Thank you for pointing this out. We really need better quality control on some of these GoK initatives. The errors are LOL! if they were not so totally tragic . . . This should go on one of those Epic Fail sites. Rigia On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 5:30 PM, Ory Okolloh <ookolloh@gmail.com> wrote:

With this kind of content, it is little wonder that some of the graduates our institutions continue to churn out can hardly construct a sentence in either English or fluent Kiswahili. Zach.

Dear Listers, As a member of the National eGovernment taskforce in 2003 - 2004, we developed some standards that included those for Government websites. There were subsequent initiatives on this in later years including designation of official webmasters for each ministry andAgency and on going training by Directorate of eGovernment. May the eGovernment reps on this list update us on what went wrong? Gakiria On Monday, 15 August 2011, Ory Okolloh <ookolloh@gmail.com> wrote:
