By DAVID MWEREMore by this AuthorThe supply of free tablets to primary schools has suffered a setback after the government reallocated Sh1.5 billion meant for the programme this year. In October 2017, then Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i announced the expansion of the programme to include private primary schools. The tablets are currently being assembled under the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology ICT project. So far, at least 329,000 tablets have been delivered to 7,238 primary schools in 21 of the 47 counties under the JKUAT ICT project. There are more than 29,000 public primary schools in the country.
