Amidst ongoing discussions surrounding educational initiatives in Ghana, members of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) have voiced their discontent, labeling government priorities as misdirected.

Speaking to the media, a representative of the association highlighted concerns over recent announcements regarding the distribution of tablets to students.

On Monday, March 25, 2024, the government launched the Ghana Smart School Project, aimed at providing 1.3 million tablets to students in public Senior High Schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.

However, speaking to the media, the spokesperson of the group indicated that while providing students with tablets might seem beneficial, the move neglects the critical needs of tutors.

According to her it is an insult to teachers for government prioritize tablets for students when many educators themselves lack essential tools like laptops.

She that if the government truly had its priorities in order, it would address the pressing needs within the education sector.

She quizzed why government will provide tablets to schools when some schools lack basic amenities such as reliable electricity.

Additionally, promises of Wi-Fi access made by the government have yet to materialize, leaving uncertainties regarding how students would utilize internet-enabled devices.
