Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has urged teachers to develop content computer classes because the government has started delivering laptops.
"We have selected three schools in every county and nine special schools, making a total of 150 schools for the pilot project. After this we will begin full implementation in the other schools. We will finish by the end of the year," he said.
He spoke in Kiambu Primary School on Wednesday when he officially launched the rollout of the laptops to 150 concept schools.
The exrcise is being conducted by the ICT department.
Matiang'i said the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development is building an education cloud.
He said the government is spending Sh200 million this financial year on the project.
"We want the education content to be available digitally and liberally. We want all children in Kenya to get education content using whatever devices they have," Matiang'i said.
He
said the government has set aside Sh200 million to train teachers on the digital content.
"The content and training materials will be available for teachers in public and private schools. Private school teachers are free to join their TSC counterparts for training," Matiang'i said.
"I congratulate our universities that are involved in this because we are keen on technology transfer and skills to develop capacity."
The CS urged teachers to take up the opportunity to earn from developing content.
He said KICD will provide guidelines and do quality assurance.
"For teachers and innovators, there is a huge opportunity to earn from developing education content. This will be a good opportunity to sell the content beyond Kenyan borders," he said.
