Will cyber school labs save our environment?

IN WEDNESDAY'S MWALIMU

A sneak peek . . .

A big ray of light is projected on the wall. A student, with the guidance of a teacher, shows the rest of the class the results of chemical combinations. But different from the usual traditional laboratory, the practicals here are being handled using cyber technology-a computer, projector and software.

In a series of stories which started last month, Mwalimu has been exposing the risks and massive costs which underlie traditional school laboratories. But, as solution, the education ministry started cyber laboratories in schools since 2012.

Is the solution realistic? Is it worth the billions of shillings it cost? All this will be in New Vision (Mwalimu-Education pull out) on Wednesday.
