‘Angola is still growing its economy at a massive speed ..A distinct lack of certain products and services is growing instead of declining and makes Angola a frontier market of the first order. You should also watch stock exchange developments, construction, green sector and professional services…..‘Nigeria has a huge population with a huge potential for growth…Ghana is an emerging market, with a stable government. ..Rwanda is now one of Africa’s major success stories and is growing in leaps and bounds… Nairobi’s as the regional hub for East Africa is becoming more important with the integration of the East Africa Community.. Kenya is taking advantage of Southern Sudan’s likelihood of joining the East African Community by creating a port in Lamu.

What:Ihub Event
When:Friday, March 04, 9-11AM
Where:@ Ihub Upper Hill Estate, 4th Floor, Bishop Magua Centre, George Padmore Lane Nairobi

With all the hype around getting laptops, desktops, big computers of any kind into Kenyan schools, what about mobile phones? Might smart phones, with their easy of use and growing screen size be a better tool for students? Say one iPhone per child or one iPad per teenager?

Smartphones for schools could be more viable (cost, personable, and battery life) than computers. Yet computers have the form factor, training programs, and applications for education.

Join Wayan Vota, a noted expert on ICT and education to explore the role of mobile phones (and computers) in Kenyan education
