<br>The interesting revelation was that the project has been 7 years in the making therefore we need to appreciate that this was not a tweeter side directive, the KICD (formerly KIE) have also been working on a digital curriculum and content development platform for the past 5 years, I have the privilege of seeing it in action which is why I can comfortably dismiss the Kenya Publishers Association as a dinosaur. <br>

<br>'What is the vaunted laptop policy, for example? It is a matter of
constant discussion, yet we really do not know what it entails. This
lack of clarity leads to sterile debate. (...) Policies are not made on television or on the radio. Serious policy must
be written down, it must contain details, and it must include
information about costs. (...) Another point that seems trivial but unfortunately needs repeating is
that transparency about policy is not enough. The data that government
puts out must also be accurate.' <br><br>From: <br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/OpEd/comment/Mass-medical-suicide-and-mind-bending-figures/-/434750/1942424/-/item/0/-/gf3npq/-/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/OpEd/comment/Mass-medical-suicide-and-mind-bending-figures/-/434750/1942424/-/item/0/-/gf3npq/-/index.html</a><br>
