Abstract:
This independent report offers initial reflection regarding the implementation of the XO 5000
project in Ethiopia. The programme introduced 5000 XO laptops, also commonly known as
the $100 laptop, into five Ethiopian primary schools. The report focuses primarily on the
educational content on the laptops, independently assessing the role of BlankPage and the
Akili interactive textbook reader.
