(B)Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has made an ambitious offer to the countrys schoolchildrenfree lap tops (便携式电脑) for every first-year student. But some question whether the country is ready and whether the presidents plans can really happen.Head teacher Bernadette Owino, at the Muthaiga primary school outside Nairobi, said the new technology could really open doors for her students. “The world is becoming a small village and you need to connect with the rest of the world, only if you are computer literate,” she said. “And it will also give the children a chance as they progress and grow to be able to research and have more knowledge. I think its a great idea if it works. Its beautiful. ”Although students and educators are excited about the governments laptop program, others say Kenya isnt ready. Many teachers still arent computer literate themselves and a lot of schools are in disrepair or even lack electricity.The post-primary teachers union said it supports the plan in theory, but Secretary General Akelo MMisori said bringing teachers and students up to speed should be the first.“If skills of math and reading are still a challenge in our primary schools, then it means, therefore, that the introduction of technology in schools through laptops may not be practical for our learning circumstances now,” he noted.But Suleman Okech, from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and technology, leads a team planning ways to carry out the program, from providing the solar powered laptops to training teachers. “Every new project or program has challenges to be dealt with.” Okech stated.Okech said to produce half a million laptops by January, they would have to employ 12,000 people, And the biggest remaining burden is cost, because the program is estimated to (估计) cost hundreds of millions of dollars.5.
