[kictanet] Prime Time data; is safaricom ready?

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

That one presenter in Nairobi most likely belongs to a company that can
afford USD400 an hour, and for which this makes good business sense since
using this conferencing platform will cut down on travel and related costs.

In the next few years, I expect that it would be a lot more affordable and
effective if the Ministry of Education got a grip on those FPE and other
funds that inexplicably go safari, generally tidies up its business, trains
teachers, makes enough teachers available throughout the country, reduces
class size etc - a whole bunch of very common-sense measures.

For primary school pupils in particular, a teacher right in front of them
who can walk around the class is important. They are still learning to learn
- it's not a matter of sitting them down in front of a feed of information.
