Education Minister Dr Osei Adutwum has noted that he is not interested in engaging in actions that are primarily designed to attract political attention.

He made the comment in relation to the recently launched 'one student, one tablet initiative'.

The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over the inability of the government to successfully implement the Smart Schools Project, which was launched by the President on Monday, March 25, 2024.

The Ghana Smart Schools Project is designed to equip students under the free SHS policy with essential technological skills, aligning with the government’s commitment to advancing education through technology.

The government has revealed plans to distribute Smart Tablets to 1.3 million Senior High School (SHS) students nationwide.

However, the Minority has challenged the figures, highlighting that there are no approved funds or dedicated resources for the implementation of the project.

Reacting to the criticism on Peace FM's Kokrokoo show, Dr Osei Adutwum said "I don't have time for political gimmicks. Where God has blessed me, Minister for Education, someone whose parents didn't go to school."

"I have built schools for those abroad. Akufo-Addo saw me and said come and help me. I left my schools, 3 of them, to come and change the educational sector. So is this someone who will use the sector to engage in politics," he added.
