She said they had cardboard keyboards and the teacher would watch them go through the exercise and tell them when they made mistakes. For programming, the teacher would grade their hand-written code without ever running it through a computer to see if it would actually work in practice vs. theory. When I lived in Ukraine, I heard similar stories from friends who were very impressed with the speed of my typing (which is not all that fast). I'm glad they actually have real, if dated, computers now. While the very idea of computer literacy classes on cardboard mockups sounds ridiculous, at least the school systems were trying. I think the current digital "wild west" in the former USSR is a testament to the power of working with what you've got.
