[...] According to the Auditor General's report that covered the year ending July 2014, on the implementation of One Laptop per Child programme in schools, there were operational challenges which were feared to limit the programme from achieving its intended objectives.
The report indicated that, out of 2,334 schools targeted by the programme for distribution by 2017, only 407 schools had received laptops by April 2014 and there was no clear roll out plan covering the remaining schools.
"There was no integration plan showing how the One Laptop programme will be integrated with the primary schools curriculum in Rwanda and no assessment criteria for children under the One Laptop programme," the report said.
Site visits made to different schools across the country revealed that a number of laptops had gone missing (528 laptops were missing in 35 of 67 schools visited).
"In most schools, laptops are still kept in boxes and store rooms and have not been put to use, while 42 out of 67 schools visited had laptops in boxes)," the report noted.
The laptops are not yet loaded with e-Learning modules and many schools use few of them for ICT lessons. Many schools do not have teaching of ICT or use of laptops on their school timetables. This has limited pupils' use of the laptops as a tool for learning.
The report further says that 4,730 laptops were distributed to 13 schools which had no access to electricity between 2010 and 2013.
The laptops stayed unutilised for between one and four years and were only re-distributed to other schools in March 2014 [...]
