[kictanet] Khan; solution to teacher shortage

[Barrack Otieno]

Good point Daktari, lest we forget that ICTs are not an end in themselves
but a  means to an end, having been involved in awareness campaigns through
www.projectdiscovery.or.ke,  we discovered that some teachers would become
suspicious that ICTs would take away their jobs and that there were also
some aspects of pedagogy that ICTs could not address effectively (most of
our schools are also day care centres), of course a lot has been done
through various ppp iniatiatives to raise awareness and many business
opportunities have resulted from this efforts, in as much as i would want to
appreciate what we can achieve from education 2.0 as Walu would call it ,
let us also look at how they can be effectively integrated into the existing
education framework to improve on it and i think KIE is doing well in this
regard, the role of the teacher is still very important since he is a role
model and mentor, something we cant easily get from video so i agree with
the PS a Mash up of sorts might be necessary.
