Nabil Sultan, in his work published on the International
Journal of Information Management, Cloud computing for
education dwelt at length on cloud computing in the
education sector a case of schools in Ethiopia and covered
aspects of cost savings being realized with this phenomenon.
Technology flow in his project evaluates previous
Information and Communication Technology policy and
practice relating to primary schools in Ireland with a view to
suggesting a better way forward in light of advances in ICT,
such as the availability of fast broadband services, including
fiber broadband, browser-based applications and the advent
of cloud computing. Junjie Peng in his work on Comparison
of Several Cloud (2009) Computing Platforms considered
various platforms of cloud and demonstrated how suitable
clouds are to organizations. Since funds have already been set aside for a project which has all the indications of failure
Kenya can exploit this opportunity to come up with an
integrated cloud platform not only useful to the class one
project but also to more valuable research in high schools,
universities and institutes. In this region Kenya has been
cited to be one of the countries whose ICT development
ranks high especially with their electronic funds transfer,
Mpesa. Kenya as a country is at an economic cross road of
implementing the new constitution and any savings would go
a long way. This framework would eventually be integrated
with the e-government project with great benefits. One great
limitation is the politics involved which may hinder
implementation. Other challenges like efficient power
availability and building Teacher capacity and digital content
are also considered in the paper.
