What she saying is as follows


" Although the government announced its plans to start the means test – to determine the eligibility of students for the laptops – last October, Gadsby-Dolly said the focus was to start the test as close to the arrival of the laptops to prevent duplication of those who would be qualifying for a laptop from the means test and a device from another donor "

Stupid, gapped teeth, weave wearing dumbass. BILLIONS spent on Covid, but people have to fight up to download a form to apply for eligibility?

there was a ton of good that would come from a standardized laptop distribution program. You could have common platform with standardized content distribution that all students would get. From the lowest rated school to the most prestigious school: same online coursework, same online content, same online grading across the entire education system.

What we have now is a hodge-podge of roll-your-own education with no standardization at all between schools or even within the same school (!).

The MoE budgetary allocation is over five billion dollars annually, or 50 billion dollars over 10 years. They have the resources.

There is no one-size-fits-all school model: Developing a flexible and innovative education ecosystem

Brookings
EDUCATION PLUS DEVELOPMENT

The latest Brookings report “Can We Leapfrog? The Potential of Education Innovations to Rapidly Accelerate Progress” analyzes 3,000 education innovations from around the world, showing just how effective widely different approaches can be. Yet, governments still search for the one education system that will trump them all and produce the best outcomes for every child. Instead, governments should consider developing a system of different school models that provide opportunities for flexibility. The Netherlands exemplifies this approach, giving all public schools a high degree of independence, so they can define their own curriculum, provided they follow certain standards established by the government. ...

We believe that in order to have this ecosystem, we need to leave the one-size-fits-all school system behind and embrace a system of schools with diverse co-existing schools like KIPP and Sudbury Valley, as well as schools focused on arts or Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)—all putting the student at the center and following centrally agreed upon standards.

Your point was clear.

Counterpoint: monolithic, standardized content for 225,000 students is not a panacea.

Counterpoint: have you seen what students at the primary school level are actually getting? It is random youtube videos and copy/pasted worksheets the teacher found online.

We can do better, especially for $5 billion dollars annually.

Hmmm.

So, the teacher at the primary school(s) that you are familiar with is assigning course material that you find insufficient.

Material sources are YouTube videos that random. Worksheets that are copy/pasted.

Your solution is for the MoE to create standardized material for all schools and all students.

But, do this thirteen months after schools have closed.

The English speaking world has had computer-based distance learning available since the 1980's. The teachers may need to do the necessary research to find better resources. That falls under "create lesson plans" in their job ddescription.

In my experience, good teachers do the necessary research. Poor teachers don't. Better teachers are also retained by better schools.

the worst is when the teacher uses google image search to google up worksheet, copy/pastes a low-res and barely legible worksheet into a Word document, then puts said word document on google classroom for you to print and submit.

Literally end-of-term assessment before Easter.

is this what they do in the Netherlands?

So we are circling back to this being a problem with a teacher not adequately performing their duties. That's a labor problem.

You don't fix a labor problem with a management solution.
