The Government has promised to replace stolen Class One laptops across the country to enable all pupils targeted in the pilot phase of the project benefit.
Additionally, the State has pledged to avail more of the digital literacy gadgets as enrolment continues to rise in public primary schools due to digitization of learning.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Authority Director Jerome Ochieng said security of the devices was increasingly becoming an issue raised in many of the schools targeted and that they were working with the local administrative authorities to boost security even as they replaced lost devices.
He said the security concerns were raised school managements as they went around the country as part of monitoring and evaluation.
He said the Government was committed to availing the devices which, according to teachers testimonies, have made learning more enthusiastic for the youngsters, raising school attendance.
"Testimonies from teachers is that learning has been made more interesting and non-attendance is no longer a challenge.
The teachers also confess that their workload has been lessened because they can take the pupils through a class and asses the learners immediately," said the director.
The Government plans to assemble more digital literacy laptops to meet growing demand as more children get enrolled in public primary schools.
Mr Ochieng said the programme had prompted some parents to withdraw their children from private institutions so that they can benefit from the Government project.
Some 937,356 devices have been distributed in 17,299 schools out of the targeted 21,729 nationally. Some 2.1 million gadgets were to be distributed.
"Going by reports in this pilot phase, both the teachers and the learners have adapted very well to using the gadgets and we have realised that the programme has pushed up enrolment," said Ochieng'.
