Even if the laptops reach the children, even if the home has power to make the computer function, how will distance learning motivate the children to actually switch the machines
on? And if the kids want to, what's to stop the parents using their children's services at home to clean, do housework or garden work, go out to earn money etc etc?
It seems to me that the success of a scheme such as this rests on a high level of motivation by both child and family. Some will have it. But what of those who do not place a high value on education?
