Today I read about the need to train young people in ICTs. But the idea builds on several key assumptions and I wanted to see if members of this group could either confirm or dispel them. Assumption 1: There is a high demand for well educated IT-professionals in the Kenya market? Assumption 2: There are not enough young people who can afford a degree in ICTs, and therefore not enough qualified students to fill all of the jobs? Assumption 3: Providing low-interest loans would help young people get the training they need and supply the market with the talent it demands? Assumption 4: It is difficult to get a loan in Kenya meaning the country lacks enough people with the right ICT training? Assumption 5: Most students who do graduate with a background in ICTs get a job and can easily pay back their loans? Are these assumptions grounded in reality and is this the complete story? Any thoughts or ideas on this matter are most welcome!
