    It is not the school, first digitalize the Inland Revenue Dept.from opening TIN upto receiving clearance certificate. Then Tax fraudsters can be easily apprehended and the system will impose auto fine periodically. This is the way we have to increase our revenue.If the finance ministry is incapable we can teach them how to do.

    @Johan, schools are the places where children learn digital technologies, the IRA is full of those who can't even use a smart phone other than for making a simple phone call. They have smart phones gifted by tax dodgers. So, at least , the future generation will be digital proficient.

    Does the minister mean students in 3000 schools will have access to computers starting March this year? The schools will have servers, LANs and access to the internet etc., That would be great.

    First they need to try and cover up the delay in the school system. The students are still in the 3rd term of the previous year. Wasting precious time. Only thing these people want is to start projects with high capital investments, so that they can play around with the money
