ICT in schools

http://www.ntv.co.ke
Despite the underlying benefits of introducing information and communication technology curriculum in primary schools, some parents in remote parts of the North Rift region are opposing this development. The parents say computer lessons are unnecessary in lower primary school, citing the young age of pupils, high costs and limited access to computers.

@karuitha what are the chances that govt will continue to ignore what you mentioned and more pressing issues to address "new" ventures like ict and more?

the digital age is here and digital literacy is important,online safety notwithstanding.

@suensmith hapo umesema, I just wanted to hear ur opinion. u know these days me and u are of opposite views. wewe umekua very tea party like. lol

[karuitha]

@Utadowot introducing babies who can barely read let alone write is craziness. You do not walk before you have crawled. My God we have schools with leaking roofs, no teachers, no desks and even no toilets and you want to tell me that spending billions of shillings that could be used to build schools n recruit more teachers in buying computers is common sense??

@siasabora, c'mon! now you are becoming stubborn! so what are you going to say about sex ed in schools? its not all about internet fcol...i rest my case.

[siasabora]

@K: Y would kids be amused by a Camel online and at home they live with animals? why play chess game with some strange pervert in Taiwan when your son can play with you in the house...? Kila kitu na wakati wake!

[siasabora]

@Utadowot : really? its like telling a 10 yr old to start the family car, rev the engine, play music and invite his buddies to play inside...then you ask them to be good...not to drive it Huh?

@karuitha introducing kids to computer lessons in not all about internet! theres much more...i know you know =)

[karuitha]

@siasabora first things 1st, teach kids how to write, spell, n read. then build better schools with roofs that dont leak when it rains, then pay teachers well n finally after all they r old n mature enuf expose them to the computer. I am shocked to hear ati they are teaching them from baby class. so expect a friend request on fb from a 2 yr old from this village

[karuitha]

@suensmith sema kitu please. I think this is madness, kwanza the man says ati they start teaching them from baby class. you mean a 2 yr old will know facebook b4 he/she can know how to say aeiou or even to read, spell n write

[karuitha]

@Utadowot wewe wacha, ati from baby class. I say why not teach kids the fundmentles like reading, spelling n writing first b4 you expose them to scary world of the internet
