The government will this year enhance teaching and learning in junior and senior high schools by providing the tutors with laptops, internet and projectors to teach their students.
For a start, about 2,000 junior high schools across the country would be supplied five laptops with projectors each to facilitate multi-media teaching/learning as it continues its quest to increase physical infrastructure.
About 250 senior high schools (SHS) will also be provided with internet facility to enhance teaching and research in the selected schools.
A Deputy Minister of Education, Mrs Elizabeth Amoah-Tetteh, who announced this in the Western Region said the ministry was also at an advanced stage of negotiating funding to equip all JSS and SHS with the state-of-the-art Information Communications Technology.
“Further, about 500 JHS will benefit from the community learning centers project which will provide such facilities for use by a cluster of other schools within walking distances,” she said.
The Deputy Minister said the ministry was in collaboration with USAID, MTN and Intel Corporation to support the provision of Internet facility for schools this year which she said had become necessary.
Mrs Amoah-Tetteh said improving teaching and learning was very important to the government and with the introduction of ICT centers in schools and communities across the country, “what is left for us to do as a people and a nation is to master the use of computers.”
“We must know that all these ICT facilities will not bring us all the development we so desire until its effective use which lies in the judicious use of the facilities in the active learning process,” he said.
