Mutsvangwa reportedly said all schools must have a computer laboratory with the following for the strategy to be rolled out successfully.
- 41 computers,
- A server

The government did not say much about rural schools that still have no proper classrooms blocks and poor access to the internet and struggling to get resources to fund their basic budgetary needs.
