The benefits to the students and the country as a whole that would be brought about by the successful implementation of this project are huge.

In my opinion the biggest emphasis to eventual success should be paid to;

(1) The teachers - the ordinary teacher has to buy the idea first. Sell it to them and the chances of success are pretty good.

(2) Government implementation - This should be treated like a business complete with a CEO who reports directly to the president. This might very well be Jubilee's Thika Road.

Hi Listers,

During the recently concluded electoral campaigns President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto captivated the minds of Kenyan parents with a promise of delivering to every Standard One pupil entering school in 2014 asolar powered laptop to enhance and aid their learning environment(see video below).

As expected many Kenyans were sceptical given the perception that many Government projects begin with pomp and fury but end up as duds; wasting billions of shillings that could otherwise have gone to more basic and immediate needs.

I thought it would be prudent for us to examine through a Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat( SWOT) analysis the feasibility of such a project in present day Kenya.
