Kwahu Aduamoa (E/R), March 24, GNA – The Kwahu Aduamoa Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Centre has been outfitted with about 30 computers, projectors, and a router to improve effective ICT teaching and learning in the community.
The equipment was provided by the Kwahuman Association in Belgium, led by Nana Okotwerebour Ampadu, the Kwahumanhene in Belgium, the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC), and Madam Naomi Ansomaa, a Kwahu Aduamoa native living in Germany.
Nana Kwame Oduro Apenteng II, Krontihene of Kwahu Aduamoa, who presented the items to the centre on behalf of the donors, said the purpose of the donation was to provide practical ICT education to students who study in the community to contribute to Ghana’s technological revolution.
He said the new computers would be used to replace those that have become faulty since the inception of in 2017, and urged the students to take their computer studies seriously.
He said the world was revolving around digital literacy and so it was, therefore, critical to assist children in schools in obtaining the necessary logistics to thoroughly study ICT in order to contribute to the national digitalization agenda.
Nana Apenteng II advised the youth to focus on the positive aspects of the internet and to use it creatively to address community challenges.
He praised the association and the philanthropists for their contributions to the area’s development, and urged parents to take a more active role in their children’s education.
Mr Samuel Owusu Annor, the Headteacher of the Aduamoa Roman Catholic School, who received the computers on the school’s behalf, said practical ICT education was a challenge in schools because students were only taught the theories and not practicals.
He thanked the Association for the gesture and urged NGOs, churches, corporate institutions, and philanthropists, both at home and abroad, to help schools in the area with infrastructure.
Nana Afia Boatemaa, Kwahu Aduamoa Wirempemhene in Accra, gave a GHS1,000.00 cash donation to the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian Junior High Schools to promote sporting activities.
