    "content": "PURCHASE OF LAPTOPS BY GOVERNMENT The Government has set aside Kshs53 billion for the laptop project for Standard One children in line with the promise they made under the Jubilee Manifesto. A breakdown of the budget for laptop implementation for the three phases is as follows. The summary of the proposed Information Communication Technology (ICT) integration in public primary schools is as follows. Here, there is a whole table regarding the monies that will be spent. However, let me just go through the first column just to highlight some of the differences that exist. Out of the Kshs53 billion that is supposedly for the purchase of computers, only Kshs27.5 billion is the amount for the purchase of the computers. The rest of the amount is as follows. Preparations, installations, storage which includes cabinets for keeping the computers so that they are not stolen; Kshs3.2 billion; digital devices, students laptops, Kshs27.5 billion; teachers laptops and LCD projectors, Kshs5.5 billion; training of teachers and education sector officers, Kshs341 million; digital content which consists of softwares, Kshs843 million; connection of power to schools for them to use the laptops, Kshs15 billion; and, project management, monitoring and evaluation, Kshs380 billion. The Government in appreciation of the shortage of teachers countrywide has set aside Kshs3 billion in the approved budget of the TSC for 2013/2014 Financial Year towards recruitment of 10,000 additional teachers. This is a phased approach where you will see recruitment of more teachers in the subsequent financial years. This statement is signed by Jacob Kaimenyi, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education."
