@Makali, I agree with you. Some serious thinking through is needed. There is need for a strategy on the entire undertaking and the need to get it right from the outset.

How many more urgent neeeds are there to fix our primary education - frm teachers to classrooms and basic things before you climb up the technology ladder? Elementary things first. Let's equip all secondary schools with computer labs before we escalate that to primary schools in the next phase (5yrs down the road)
