"We already have competetive priorities as a country, how do we allocate our resources as a nation to education given the other challenges we face. That is where Technology comes in, creating a pathway to learn knowledge that is not necessarly replacing the existing system but coplimenting, enabling students to learn at anytime, anywhere and meet the challenges and gaps they face in schools right now".
