Kenya: Ministry May Donate Cash for E-Learning

(From allafrica.com) Nairobi - The Ministry of Education is studying a proposal to donate Sh60,000 to needy schools for e-learning.

If approved, the proposal will benefit 20 schools in each constituency and will be the first step in rolling out e-learning in the newly created counties.

"The amount of money might not be adequate but it would make a difference," said assistant minister Calist Mwatela.

Mr Mwatela said it was time schools and colleges focused on e-learning, given the growing importance of technology in the global education sector.

The assistant minister said schools countrywide should try to acquire the digital content in the next 12 months.

"We are looking forward to a time when all schools will have this digital content package to improve performance.
