Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to launch the much-heralded One Student, One Laptop initiative for Senior High School students on March 25.
A statement by the Ministry of Education said the initiative “aligns with government’s efforts to enhance e-learning and digitalization,” and “supports government’s goal of leveraging technological advancements to prepare Ghanaian students for the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” also known as the digital age.
“The initiative aims to bolster Senior High School Education by providing Teaching and Learning Management Systems, Digital Learning Content, and educational devices to all Senior High and TVET Schools nationwide.”
Since secondary education has been free since 2017, the government’s dedication to secondary education is further demonstrated by the reality of Vice President Dr. Mahanudu Bawumia’s announcement last year that all SHS students would receive computers.
The computers can be accessed offline (offline) anywhere in the nation with preloaded software, including textbooks.
With laptops, students can abandon the long-standing habit of carrying around textbooks.
As part of the plan, which aims to improve young Ghanaian students’ technical literacy, the government will give pre-programmed computers to every SHS student in the county.
