I wish we could get statistics here as opposed to mere statements!
Which developed country gives laptops to standard one pupils?(6 year old)

The best exposure to technology is by introduction of ICT related courses
early in the schools curriculumn for axample as early as standard 1

The ICT becomes mandatory and is examined in class 8.

The same replicated in high school up to University.

This way, a pupil would progress gradually in ICT as field of study like mathematics, Sciences or English.

Of course, to teach ICT as a subject, schools would be required to set-up ICT labs for practicals. The labs would
realistically be useful to those in class 4 upwards

In standard one, we need to incorporate pictures of computers and laptops may be.

Shad

@Buliva

Bill Gates was programming as early as 15, while decades later(2000)

Kenyans get to experience computers at university...

Early adoption and exposure to technology are a necessity. Japan and

the US have shown that from the many innovations from these exposed

youth.

Forget laptops for pupils - way too expensive and difficult. The $35 computer is where it's at..
