Tanyigbe Senior High School - TASHS receives 40 RLG laptops among 93 senior high,
technical and vocational schools in the Volta Region. These schools benefited from over
4,000 RLG laptops donated by the Ministry
of Environment Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) as part of government’s “Better Ghana Agenda” aimed at making students
Information Communication Technology (ICT) inclined.
Dr. Bernice Adiku
Heloo, Deputy Minister for MESTI who spoke on behalf of Dr. Joe Oteng-Adjei
noted that “no country can ever eradicate poverty without quality education for
all. As a result, government is committed to providing adequate resources,
especially ICT to transform the country.”
She was hopeful
that the laptops would increase research, teaching and learning as well as
innovation among students to make them competitive globally.
She called for
judicious use of the laptops saying, “The laptops are not meant for headmasters
and teachers to use for personal and administrative work. These machines are
for the laboratory for students and teachers to use for academic work. We will
be making periodic visits to ensure that you use them well.”
Francis Ganyaglo,
Deputy Volta Regional Minister, urged the students to create quality and
competent work force to transform Ghana, through the use of ICT.
The Volta
Regional Education Director, Mr Emmanuel Keteku, commended the initiative
saying, “Investing in the youth in the area of ICT is worthwhile.”
He advised RLG to
regularly monitor the performance of the laptops to fix any defects that would
arise from their usage.
Receiving the laptops for Tanyigbe SHS was the headmistress, Ms. Agnes Afesi, accompanied by the ICT coordinator, Mr. Botchway B. Bright.
