It's only in Nigeria that stupidity is hailed as an 'initiative'. The OLPC (one laptop per child) by FG is still very fresh in our memory. If the governor of Osun state is really serious about computer education. Why doesn't he set up computer equipped libraries in some selected schools. Or establish computer equipped laboratories at various locations in the state. My.first question to Governor aregbesola is how many tablet he intends to buy considering the number of students and how he intends to sustain this. My second question to the governor is whether these tablets are the best devices to learn computing. Sometimes I wonder who advise these our leaders sef. It's so disappointing. |

Olalekan 0: You have no idea what's going on in Osun.Aregbe has borrowed over 90B meanwhile he was crticizing his predecessor for borrowing just 18B! 90 billion that was meant for the railway project (connecting the SW/Edo states) according to DAWN program ? What Aregbesola is doing is certainly not sustainable. He is looking at short term projects rather than Long term project as he promised before being elected. I wonder why politicians don't follow plans. We were promised something, he is giving us another thing. Misplaced priority and I really hope this would not make ACN lose in Osun next election |

This may not have been the best option, but I think this is a step in the right direction. The program should ßξ adjusted to fit the reality of our system before full implementation.... But wait a second, someone is yet to comment on this thread, or has he broken up with the love of his life 1 Like |

This is a misplaced priority in my opinion as international organisations already took care of all these tablet or laptop stuffs. We have the classmates pc's and one laptop per child program which they could actually partner to do stuffs like this. Why start this from scratch when you can partner and customize this stuff to suit whatever stuff you want for the students in osun state. We need modern libraries in schools and at strategic locations around the state, also they need modern equipped schools with computer labs, technology labs and other skill acquisition programs or systems. Upgrade the quality of the teaching staffs, update the curriculum to meet international standard and turn the focus from result orientation to actual learning and productive outcomes. We need our students to be able to apply the education they have got, lots of practical stuffs and not just passing exams. I don't see the benefit of these tablets if it is just for reading exam materials that can be provided by cheap eBook readers instead. We need new forms of teaching, learning, assessing and evaluating our students with a very structured approach to restructure our education system. I don't really like this gesture and i don't know where this idea is coming from because even kids abroad do not use this stuffs. |

This project is NOT sustainable. We would start seeing the tablets in computer village. Also on my mind are broken screen, faulty keypads, virus, faulty RAM e.t.c |

We don't need movable infrastructure as a library can serve those purpose when in school and after school. In my local library here you can actually go to the library and borrow these devices for use inside the library. If you have to take the tablets back after the students passes out then you defeat the purpose of the whole thing. |

I dey laugh oooo, Osundefender again, are the tablets programmed in Yoruba because most of the students don't even understand english, and will there be a training on how to use it because most of them don't even know what a monitor or mouse or keyboard is. As for the people asking for 170 model schools, Aregbe has been building a prototype (Salvation army primary school Osogbo) since October last year and he hasn't complete it, so don't even ask for 170 of those for now. "Opon-Imo" ROFLMAO. 2 Likes |

I would have preffered desktos in the school as the tablets will make the students targets for hoodlums. |

Must u Lie? Who criticized Bola Ige? Be True to yourself about this issue and stop politricking..Am sure those tablet would have been distributed to students in Areaz dat voted for the Governor.

Who will supply the computers? Check its a firm cindirectly controlled by the gov himself. Its a new way of making money by pretending ur doing good. Will the laptops have access to the internet, if its just microsoft offiec then desktops in the school library, with a functioning generator will be more beneficial |

who will maintain the laptops for them,remember this are children whose parents can hardly afford their basics needs or the lappy cannot spoil or the software corrupted instead of the clueless governor to invest first in the development of the teacher so they can deliver first class education to the children I. hope this is not another way of giving food for the boys who be the supplier self I cry for Oshun state |

Did you guys bother to read the post, before posting your ignorance and stupidity all over the thread? It's cheaper to give them the tablets, with all the needed textbooks already on it - than to give them textbooks.. There are cheap, and affordable tablets out there. 1 Like |

Have they thot about how to power those 'ipads'? because at least 90% of those schools lack power supply. And when you factor in the erratic power supply by PHCN,how will the students charge the 'ipad'? Generators? Anyway, i think Ogbeni have done his assignment well. because i feel that having a computer lab is more viable than this 'ipad' initiative of a thing. Mind you,even if you distribute free text books sef,just ask those students for d book in 3 days time,they would have damage the books, how much more a more fragile device? |

It might be like kindle cos they said all their courses and syllabus are loaded on the device Its a good start especially in a country where Computer Science grads dont touch a PC till they graduate |

Osogbo power station will provide 24/7 electricity to run the tablets, why not selling for the schools cheap, so that all have equal opportunity? |

alj harem: Misplaced priority, confused set of leaders Good point. A library would had been a best bet. Tablet has very low storage capacity to store few of the important programs these student will need. Tablets were invented for convenience or as on-the-go computer - for internet browsing and few miscellaneous stuffs. This is a free ticket for these kids to starting watching por$n right in their bedroom |
