Le Rwanda a rejoint le programme One Laptop per Child (Un Ordinateur Portable par Enfant - OLPC) en Janvier 2007. Richard Niyonkuru a été nommé par le Ministère de l’Education pour coordonner le déploiement du programme. Nous l’avons joint pour lui demander où en est le projet, comment les enfants et les enseignants accueillent l’arrivée des ordinateurs. Richard Nyonkuru nous a parlé des défis qui restent à relever pour faire un succès de ce programme mais aussi de l’engouement des élèves et de l’engagement des enseignants.
