At the too brief question/answer session, I got the chance to point out that “we should keep in mind that India spends, on average, around $5 per student per month, compared to the US which spends around $1,200 per student per month. Even if the per month cost of the laptop is of the order of $10 per student, it represents multiples of the current spending in India.”
Atanu attends a presentation at the American Center in Mumbai on the launch of the “one laptop per child” — OLPC — in India and has a chance to point out its irrelevance for the Indian education system. Did Prof. Negroponte hear that?
