    "content": "have time. I have seen people read in their cars. They put on their headphones and go online where they get somebody on the other side giving instructions. And by the time they get out of the matatus or private cars, they would have finished their lesson or leant something. It is not like a traditional system where you must be physically present in a class listening to a teacher. It is flexible, cheaper and affordable compared to the other one where you are needed to attend class. Some of the ways that they use in teaching is recording. There are no physical trainers or lecturers. Someone is given the recordings and he or she listens to them, make notes and thereafter, submits his or her homework. I have been looking into it and it is a good way for those people who learnt when things had not changed or the education system had not changed. If my father was to resurrect from his grave, with all the education and knowledge that he had he would not come to terms with what we are using today because it is mostly digital. For those who want to catch up with the running world, new systems and digital ways, this is a very good way of expanding, and coming up with ways that do not look archaic or analogue. To top that, we should find ways to connect internet (Wi-Fi) in places which do not have. Nowadays, I see people in the villages having Android make of phones because they can afford them. We should worry of places that do not have access to that kind of education because our people everywhere, including in the villages, are curious and want to learn. Even somebody who did not have or had limited education in their lives, out of curiosity, even if they are not after getting the degrees, would want to learn some things and become knowledgeable. Knowledge is power and that is why we are looking into it so that we do not have so many ignorant people, or people who do not care of what is happening, so that they become part of the solution. Thank you."
