Just incase you missed reading this one. KICTANet discussed this
eventuality a while back. Read on!







The Ministry of Education has now suspended issuance of tablets to
Class One pupils under the digital literacy programme, opting instead
to build computer laboratories.












Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang has said that each of the 25,000
public primary schools will get one computer laboratory.












“There has been a policy change in programme from one child-one
laptop to the construction of computer laboratories for ICT
integration,” Dr Kipsang told National Assembly’s Education
Committee while presenting budgetary proposals.
