| I was extrapolating from my experience in what was then called Zaïre. The
language situation and education penetration were similar to what now
prevails
in Ethiopia. Those students who excelled in the offical foreign language,
French, graduated to high school or college in the big cities, often
1000
kilometres distant. After getting a job in the big city they would sometimes
make an annual vacation return with gifts of money. I conversed
with older
people in the rural areas who regretted these bright students did not return to
teach and maintain the new technology in agriculture,
transport and
communications. But that was thirty years ago. I hear the situation there is now
worse. It's difficult to choose the least evil. One result of
the choice to
concentrate on English must be more
language extinction . [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The article said the tablets in use were Motorola Xoom on Android.
If (big if) an Amharic keyboard is in there, then I guess it will
be found by any kid smart enough to hack his config to
switch the camera back on.
