E-Book: Key To Better Education?

Terengganu government decided to distribute 23,000 e-book to year five students in the state. The distribution will start end of this month.
According to the spokesperson, the e-book project was part of the state government’s aim at providing quality education and to reduce the burden of heavy school bag.
What I’m wondering is that whether this will actually work and achieve its noble target.
Contribution from oil and gas made this state one of the richest in Malaysia and due to this, it can afford to supply primary school children with e-book.
I don’t think it’s fair when it comes to this. The government aim to provide equal and the best education possible to all Malaysian. It started from primary and later progressed to university.
The question is why students from Terengganu have the privilege to basically get an e-book each? What about other primary school children outside Terengganu?
Does the education minister feel that this is a fair advantage to school children from Terengganu?
I personally don’t think handing out e-book is the best or better effort from the state government to provide better education. I think someone is making a lot of money out of this.
If the state government wanted to improve the state of education in Terengganu, they should consider equipping better and more computers to the school.
The e-book has limited capability. Though its internet enabled, how many students have internet connectivity at home?
What about maintenance? Who will maintain them? Can the parents afford to maintain and repair faulty e-book?
The state government should consider upgrading facilities in school. This will somehow encourage the students to spend more time in school. By spending more time in school, they can get involved in sports, information technology etc. And the teachers can better supervise their students.
At home we don’t know how long the students spend time with their e-book. We want the e-book to be fully utilized.
Terengganu is where majority of the students are kampong boy. They are the active type where they spend more time outdoor. The idea of making them spend more time in front of the e-book seems to be a farfetched idea.
It’s best to use the money to make the students spend more time in school rather than letting them spend more time outdoor doing nothing or getting involved with negative activities.
