The Education Ministry is now looking into a nationwide initiative to hand out laptops to school children.
Minister Filipe Bole said that the project called "One Laptop per child" - OLPC - which will be piloted next year, will see children being able to access new channels of learning, sharing and self-expression through child friendly computers.
OLPC is a non-profit organization that creates and distributes computers sufficiently affordable to emerging nations.
Some of the nations helped under OLPC are South and Central America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
