Plse feel free to contribute on previous threads as long as you pick the corresponding title.  Also remember, for those wishing to directly edit the Draft ICT policy, visit Jadili platform, register and post.
So onto todays theme:How to Develop Skilled Human Capital 
*ICT integration in primary, secondary, tertiary levels,*Specialized Skills (Software /Engineering)*Research & Development Capacity*eLiteracy for citizens/public 
The Background:The Digital Literacy Program aka the Laptop project is ongoing and we probably have  to wait another 18-20yrs years to  see its impact (when today’s std 1s hit the market).  But meanwhile, we need skilled human capital to help move us from a net consumer of electronic goods and services into a net producer of the same.
Our R&D output in general is quite low (Global Innovation Index 2015) despite the fact that we are leader at a regional level.  What should the Policy capture  to ensure Kenya churns out a constant supply of  highly skilled manpower necessary to drive the digital society.
Send in your ideas, comments, strategies, etc. 
1Day as usual for the topic.
