    "content": "Secondly, I request that as the CS responds to the Statement, let him also tell us what they are doing in terms of policy. You remember that the Ministry is averse or against use of mobile telephony in schools. They said that mobile telephony is very dangerous. I remember in 2014 when I was presenting a paper at Kabarak University on mobile learning and trying to discount the fact that we should ban mobile phones as a tool for learning in schools because they are dangerous. I argued that even a pen like this one can potentially be very dangerous because a child can even remove an eye of another using a pen. However, we are not banning pens. In the same breath, we need a policy framework that allows us to use mobile telephones in schools the same way we use sulphuric acid, bicas and microscopes so that our children can access learning using mobile telephones. There is a lot that needs to be done in terms of policy change to allow mobile telephony to be used in schools and even at home by children. Parents can then buy smart mobile phones and give children to use."
