Hi Grace, I think the approach has to be different in achieving Digital Literacy and it has to be one of self motivated learning from the youngsters, the guides need to the the teachers who teach them all day and hence it will be of value to train the teachers and the teachers train the students in the current model. I do not see any amount of teacher training. In addition, we discuss the basic infrastructure, there needs to be a team within the MOE who does an yearly audit of the infrastructure tie this up the the performance of the head teacher and the budgets that were available, with a little bit of data analysis we will be able to identify where the limitations are and what needs to be done to remedy the situation. Finally, each school needs to establish a community digi kiosk that not only acts as a teaching support in technology but also services the community around them to make it self sustaining, government pays the ICT - entrepreneur some fee to sustain him basically for a certain number of KPI, training based on a continuous learning basis, this will create 30,000 ICT led jobs in the country, provide these schools with an operational system that enables the headmasters to use technology to optimise the operational running of their institutions, reduces costs and this will free up teachers time resulting in better teaching outcomes, the money saved through better operations and transparency will assist them to maintain and upgrade their infrastructure. The operational system will also enable the School heads make decisions on the basis of factual information and the government can further be able to role up into single performance dashboard from all being able to seethe performance at national, county, regional and to the lowest denominator. Anybody ready to participate for such an impact project to improve and uplift our future? If so, please get intouch we have the operational product ready, we now need to role this out, but with the current state of affairs it is going to be a real challenge.

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.
