> For more than six years this computer teacher has been drawing interfaces on blackboard for his students as the school did not have the resources.

This is a nice story, but doesn't having a computer teachers in communities that can't afford computers seem like a waste of resources?

It is a nice story but perhaps overstating the problem a little: "Showing his class how to use a PC posed a fundamental problem as the school’s only computer and his own personal laptop were both broken." https://news.microsoft.com/apac/2018/03/15/teacher-who-used-...
The point is to enable the kids to get entry-level work using computers elsewhere.
