According to the Machakos school Principal,the education system should embrace the changing trends in the digital economy and thus see the need of students have mobile phones in school.

Technology is the way to go and it should be incorporated in schools," Kahi said Kahi was speaking on Saturday 11, February on the sidelines of an event organized by Kewota to empower female teachers to access digital products and insurance coverage. In his address, the Chief Principal however noted that the gadgets should have restrictions to avoid misuse.

During the event, Kewota disclosed a major plan to empower its members to own laptops at affordable prices. It also launched a medical plan and also unveiled soft loans initiative for all registered members. Kahi has now urged the government to consider introducing the gadgets in secondary schools.
