According to the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation, the best way to bridge the knowledge gap in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Senior High Schools (SHS) is to make the subject practical.
According to Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the sector minister, the government plans to equip 334 SHS around the nation with computer laboratories.
The Ablekuma West legislator stated in a media interview during the commissioning of two newly constructed classroom blocks at St. Margret Mary Senior High Technical and Akweibu Basic schools that the Communications Ministry is in negotiations with the Education Ministry to begin the project.
“The best way to sustain any such initiative is to mainstream it. I know the curriculum has been changed. ICT education is part of the curriculum. We need to make the subject practical enough for the students.”
”I am already having conversations with the Ministry of Education. We are in the process of providing 334 SHS with 40-seater ICT laboratories across the country”.
