Three schools, the Manya Krobo Senior High School (MAKROSEC) which is offering ICT as an elective subject, Akuse Methodist Senior High School, (AMEST) and Akro Senior High School have so far received interactive headsets with complete desktop computers and accessories and laptops.

The gesture it is hoped will boost the study of ICT education especially in the midst of a rapidly developing ICT and modern ICT transformation around the world.

At the Akuse Methodist Senior High School, the Assistant headmaster of the school, Mr. Lawson Azalekor received the items before a cheerful student body on behalf of the headmaster, staff and students.
