Godia said that under the new government, the ICT policy will be rolled out to the remaining 5,000 secondary schools together with the planned distribution of laptops to primary school children.
"These are important teaching and learning aids which are part of a plan to modernise education in the country," he said. The PS was speaking during a prize giving day at Wareng High School in Eldoret where he was with CEO of the Teachers Service Commission Gabriel Longoboin.
Godia said the Ministry is now ready to help implement the Jubilee government promise of distributing free laptops to primary school children. He said the government is already in the process of implementing the ICT policy in primary schools under a pilot programme in Garrisa, Mombasa and Kilifi with funding support from several donors including the United States Agency for International Development among others.
He said the plan to change the education system from the current 8-4-4 system is not a priority area right now as what is more important is "improving access and affordability of quality education".
