Francisca Aladejana has been exploring the possibilities for teaching NKS in the context of Nigerian educational institutions, which tend to have very traditional attitudes toward education.
Her situation is quite different from that of most of the presenters at this conference in that not only is Mathematica not widely available, but under 10% of the students surf the Internet and under 6% of the teachers have computers.
Were computers available, there would still be a number of technological issues such as poor power and internet infrastructure (and most likely also connection speed.
She would like to engage her government in supporting the introduction of computer and internet technoloogy into the schools, and she would like to integrate the teaching of NKS into this process.
