Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has laid out plans by government to share amongst all Senior High Students (shs) students across the country free electronic tablets.
According to him, it adds to the digitization agenda of the government.
During his speech at this year’s New year School at the University of Ghana Legon, the tablets were going to serve as alternative textbooks for the students.
“This year, we are on course to provide all Senior High School students in Ghana with tablets which are loaded with textbooks on them for their studies. That’s a very game-changing development. We will have past questions preloaded on these tablets that will be distributed.”
It has been announced that there is an initiative by government to partner with publishers in the country to put out the initiative.
Plans of providing free internet to the Senior High School and Tertiary students to improve learning are also being put in place.
First contract of Wi-Fi has been awarded by government for installations to begin in some tertiary institutions as part of the project.
