As part of their annual volunteerism program, MTN Ghana, alongside various partners, is providing digital literacy lessons to students in 25 senior high schools nationwide.
The 2024 MTN Y’ello Care initiative, which was started in 2007, aims to bridge the digital gap and enhance educational outcomes.
The students will receive training in artificial intelligence, robotics, digital tools and access to the Ghana Knowledge and Skills Cloud-Based Platform (GKSB), a repository of educational resources and past examination questions.
Among the benefiting schools are Aburi Presbyterian Secondary Technical School in the Eastern Region, Church of Christ SHS in the Ashanti Region, and Sunyani SHS in the Bono Region.
The program’s reach extends to schools across multiple regions, including Ahafo, Bono East, Northern, Western, Western North, and Central.
The Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, Adwoa Wiafe, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, “Through these initiatives, we are supporting efforts to make educational materials more accessible to students. Our objective is to bridge the digital gap and help improve educational outcomes by leveraging technology for teaching and learning.”
This year’s Y’ello Care theme is “Education for Rural and Remote Communities – Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow”.
The program, which typically runs for 21 days in June, has been extended to 30 days this year to celebrate MTN’s 30th anniversary.
The technology programs are being handled in collaboration with Coral Reef Innovation Hub, Npontuo, Duapa Workspace, Eastern Hub, and Nude 8.
