Buying the tablet is easier, if you have the money. But just how long do you think it's going to last in that kind of environment? Turning the school around is a thousand times harder - but if you manage, you're going to impact more than a thousand times more students than you would with one lousy tablet.

In the context they live in, the skills that are in demand are agriculture and reading - not the current fad in web frameworks.
