Ezikhathini eziningi sikutshele mayelana ne umsebenzi wokufundisa ukwedlula amaphilisi bamatasatasa phakathi kwezizukulwane ezintsha. Ucwaningo olwenziwe yi-Consultancy IDC lukhombisa ukuthi e-United States Ama-oda ethebhulethi avela emkhakheni wezemfundo aphindeke kabili onyakeni odlule.
Izibalo ezithile zikhomba ukukhula okungu-103% kwama-oda ngo-2012 uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule nokuthi lokhu kucindezela kokuthenga kuholele ekutheni amaphilisi amele u-35% wamakhompyutha womuntu siqu akhona ohlelweni lwezemfundo lwaseMelika.
Idatha ibonisa ukuthi akuzona kuphela izikole ezizimele ezithuthuka kakhulu (i-K-12) ezikhuthaze lolu xhaxha lwama-tablet emakilasini. Abakhiqizi, abadali bokuqukethwe kanye nezinkampani ezithengisa amathuluzi nazo zibe ngemuva kwalezi zibalo.
Ngokwamazwi kaTom Mainelli, umhlaziyi we-IDC, ucwaningo okulindeleke ukuthi lutholakale ku Izikole ze-K-12 njengabagqugquzeli bezinkontileka nabakhiqizi, abathuthukisi nabasabalalisi ikubonisa amathuba ebhizinisi ngemuva kokutshala imali kokuqala. Kodwa-ke, uhulumeni wase-United States uhambisana kakhulu nokufakwa kwemfundo ngedijithali, ethatha amanani aphansi akamuva amaphilisi njengozakwethu obalulekile.
Ucwaningo lukubona kusengaphambili ukuthi lokhu ubukhona buyaqhubeka bukhula eminyakeni embalwa ezayo futhi izinga lokukhula lingaba phezulu nakakhulu esikhathini esizayo. Ukwenyuka kokuncintisana kulo mkhakha kudala ukwehla kwentengo abathengi, okuhlanganisa nezikole, abasizakala ngakho.
Impela lapho sifunda lolu lwazi abaningi bethu bacabanga: okufanayo naseSpain, yebo. Iqiniso lokufakwa kwemfundo ngedijithali ezweni lethu, ukusho okuncane, liyadabukisa. Akukhona nje ukuthi uhulumeni akafaki intshisekelo kukho nokuthi akukho ukutshalwa kwezimali, kodwa othisha abazimisele futhi akukho ntando yepolitiki yokubaqeqesha. Kulokhu kufanele kwengezwe ukuntuleka kwesimo sengqondo sokuxoxisana sabaphathi bezemfundo e-Spain ukuze bafinyelele izivumelwano zokuphromotha nabakhiqizi, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuvinjelwa uhlaka lwezomthetho oluqinile lokutshalwa kwezimali kwangasese.
