[kictanet] [ke-internetusers] ICDL and foreign certifications forbasiccomputer usage

[robert yawe]

Hi David,

We need to move forward and set the stage for the rest, all we need is to talk to KDN, OrangeTelkom or Safaricom to setup a conferencing server and we can have this brainstorm virtually.

We where all up in arms when the cabinet went to Mombasa on a 11 million bonding session.  Most of them are over 60 so they need a siesta after every 2 hours on activity, they don't know any better so lets show by example.

If one of those mentioned above is game then I am ready to offer my time and skill to run the virtual conference.

Regards

Robert Yawe

Dear all, 
 
How about that we call for a grand meeting 
where we will do systematic brainstorming on the curriculum for the future ICT 
educations here in Kenya ?
 
There are various very effective and 
systematic brain storming methods which can be used in large groups to reach 
consensus and conclusions in only 2-3 days.
 
How do we gather the necessary financial 
support to make such an event take place for instance in January, we would in 
that case advertise the event in the Digital Age Journal, January 2010 issue, 
and we would report from the event in the February 2010 issue.
 
I would propose that we simply meet, every 
one who have a positive interest in making Kenya a preferred outsourcing 
destination for High Tech - for instance in Software Development - and then we 
talk and systematically record what transpires..
 
Proposals welcome. We could have initial 
meetings in our institute. I propose that we meet for instance on Sunday, the 
8th of December 2009, at 14:00. Our address is View Park Towers, 16th floor, 
Nairobi City. (Next to Anniversary Towers and opposite Alliance 
Francaise.
 
Kind regards
Digital Age Institute 
Ltd.

I agree with the PS on the fact that we need to start from 
  somewhere in terms of standards. It is a high time we started putting a caveat 
  to guide towards best practice and good quality of the educational 
  requirements. on the same line, we need to start vetting the graduates that 
  come from the numerous universities with an IT based degree. Some of these 
  degrees produce half baked graduates.

  Robert,
I 
    am meeting with KASNEB next week to consider a local equivalent syllabus. 
     Before we started CPA locally, we had to contend with ACCA for some 
    time.  Bottom line we need standards now as we move into more IT 
    enabled services.  Our prospective customers need the standards to 
    gauge from where we are starting.

I understand all you are saying 
    although it is a challenge for us to start being more patriotic in all our 
    endeavors.
