<p>We cannot securely store or even stock books in classrooms and libraries. We should provide children with access to devices that can store ebooks (and save trees).</p>
<p>We need devices that can receive digital tv (educational media).</p>
<p>Children can watch animations on how blood flows through the human body or how germs replicate or how atoms are believed to function.</p>
<p>I do not understand pastoralism/pastoralists, but they need mobile education if they will not go to classrooms. Maybe then, they would ranch (and cattle rustle less) if they could ranch more.</p>

<div><br>This project is fraught with too many challenges and the jubilee admin should not proceed as if its survival and life depends on it. A radical decision needs to be made otherwise it will turn out to be its greatest undoing, and a political weapon.<br>
<br>There is urgent need for a reality check. If it was left to me, I would bury it overnight. Damn the political consequences. Reason must prevail over populism and sentimentalism. 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)<br>
