Mr Musa kigongo, an information communication technology specialist at Kampala Parents, yesterday said for one to conduct an online class, they must have a smart phone or computer that has a front camera, with speakers and must be connected to the Internet.
The teacher has to address the learners through the computer set at school so the children access the work through their parents device that are connected on data.
So it is affordable as long as you have a laptop or smart phone," Mr Kigongo said yesterday.
However, some of the Universal Education Schools are facing challenges since most of their students have no access to Internet connection, electricity and televisions
The National Information Technology Authority (NITAU) revealed that Internet penetration in the country stands at 53 per cent, with about 5.6 million smart phones in the country.
Mr Filbert Baguma, the Uganda National Teachers' Union (Unatu) general secretary, said online teaching is practically impossible in Uganda due to lack of infrastructure and Internet connection in some places.
