The Ministry of Education, under the direction of the government, has unveiled a plan to introduce laptops as a replacement for traditional textbooks in Senior High Schools nationwide.

This initiative, announced by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during the 60th Anniversary celebration of Hohoe Evangelical Presbyterian Senior High School, aims to enhance teaching and learning by equipping students with digital resources.

According to Dr. Bawumia, the laptops will come preloaded with textbooks and other relevant educational materials, ensuring that students have access to a comprehensive range of resources during their lessons.

The implementation of this program is scheduled to take place before the end of 2023.

“If this country must move forward in the right direction, we must invest in education which is the only platform for preparing nation builders for tomorrow.

“The Minister for Education has also assured me that this year, we’ll start the replacement textbooks with laptops that have textbooks embedded in Senior high Schools,” he said on Saturday.

This new initiative comes after the government launched the One-teacher One-laptop project on Friday, September 3, 2021.

The programme was meant to give Senior High School teachers modern materials to facilitate teaching and learning and as of December 11, 2021, Ghana Education Service reported that 80% of laptops meant for teachers had been distributed.
