Distributing Tabs for Advanced Level students a problem

The proposal to distribute free Tab computers to school children and teachers through budget proposals, which suggestion was presented by the Finance Minister yesterday was an attractive proposal no doubt. Whatever it is, what was proposed by it was that 175,000 students entering advanced level classes in the year 2017 would be given Tab computers. As reported in statistics of the Education Ministry usually, about two and a half lakhs students register for the advanced level annually. As such a problem of meeting demands of providing Tab computers to approximately 75000 students would create a problem. According to the 2015 statistics of the Ministry of Education, the total number of advanced level students of 12th and 13th year total upto 494597. As such, in the 12th year alone there are students close upon two and a half lakhs.

This is how the Minister had made the statement relating to the presenting of Tabs. "Hon. Speaker ... it is imperative that it is necessary to provide an environment for our student community where knowledge is given to them in an easy manner. They should be provided classrooms of a high quality and Rs. 6,500 million has been already allocated for this purpose. In order to further making this programme a success, we are taking steps to give 175,000 students entering the advanced level class in 2017 and 28,000 advanced level teachers Tab computers free of charge. I propose that a sum of allocating Rs. 5,000 million for this project. I invite that telephone facilities be supplied by giving wi-fi support in this connection".
