NGO donates computers to four schools in Agona

Agona Swedru, April 7, GNA - The Glorious Vision Orphans (GLOVO), a non-governmental organization, has presented 12 computers to three schools in the Agona West Municipality to improve teaching and learning of Information Communication Technology (ICT). The schools are Bobikuma Methodist Primary and Junior High Schools, Agona Swedru SDA (B and C) schools and Swedru Salvation Army School for the Deaf.

Mr William Yirenkyi, Executive Director of GLOVO who made the presentation, said the computers would facilitate the learning and teaching of the subject that had been introduced in the school curriculum.

He said studies showed that 75 per cent of teachers in the Agona West Municipality and the Agona East District were not computer literate.

Therefore, GLOVE is holding ICT training workshops for both teachers and pupils of basic schools in the two districts. Mr Yirenkyi said the 93Go Back to School Project" embarked upon by the GLOVO in September last years was yielding good results as 120 streets children have so far been enrolled in schools. Mr Kweku Kakraba Aidoo, a former assembly member for Mahodwe, appealed to the government to equip basic schools with computers and accessories to promote ICT learning. He said about 50 basic schools in the two districts lack computers.
