There are many schools in Ghana that do not have the essential ICT tools for effective teaching and learning yet, their students are made to sit for the ICT exams at the BECE.

Delivering a speech at the short ceremony, he said: “We can boldly say that for this academic year there will be no ICT teacher or Computing Facilitator as they are now called in any of our 55 public JHS and 5 SHS without laptops.”

As a former Deputy Minister, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Information, he continues to play his role and contribute his quota to the developmental needs of his constituency and believes these laptops will help teachers/facilitators  deliver on the job and engage in the necessary research works to improve on the information they deliver in the class to enhance performance of their students.
