ANC considers tablets for schools

Due to theft etc the long term costs would be extreme.
This is not a first world country - many of the children in these schools are in families battling to put food on the table (largely due to the rest of the decisions our esteemed government has made ironically). How can you expect them not to steal/sell the stuff?

yep
i remember a soweto school selling all their brand new computer room equipment to buy soccer kit
 
Good idea. But...
Tablets affect eyes.
Textbook are still the best on my opinion.

South African or African made tablets should be distributed. Like Future Mobile Technology Tablets.
 
And the good news is they are buying in bulk so the tablets are only going to cost R15 000 each..........................

If we were talking about E-readers I think the distinction would have been made clear by the ANC. Tablets are rear lit devices, so eye strain from such prolonged exposure every week is guaranteed. And you can be sure they'll be the cheapest tablets on this earth, which will probably exacerbate the situation.
 
And this will change the literacy problem? They are going to play games rather than using it for studying.
 
What about first getting enough teachers and proper school resources such as windows with actual glass in them, toilets that work, proper roofs and electricity. Idiotic idea.
 
It's going to need charging .. what about those without electricity at home?

Also, will BEEskom be able to keep up with the new demand?
 
They will have to restrict the tablets somehow. First thing kids will do is download porn.
 
Dibs on the 50 million tender for educational software once they realize it doesn't come with edu software.

I'll also be accepting CVs via PM...I need a business partner with the right level of melanin.

I'm thinking wordpress with a Khan academy mirror...I think I'll have to buy a wordpress template though. Oh well...only R49 999 900 profit then.

Seriously though...they are too fckin incompetent to get textbooks to kids and now they want to use tablets. Dear god...

I smell a huge contract scam in the making. The tablet second hand market will also bloom. Although I ADMIRE THE INCENTIVE, it's the wrong one at the wrong time. There are much bigger needs and problems that needs solving first. What a stupid notion at this stage of the game.
 
Why is the ANC and not the government proposing this.
Sounds like they want to use this as a propaganda tool.
