First lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo in collaboration with Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) and the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev Ntim Fordjour have donated computers to Assin Asamankese D/A primary school.
This comes after class six pupils of the Assin Asamankese D/A Primary School in the Assin South District of the Central region said they are struggling to learn Information and Communication Technology, ICT.
The pupils are compelled to improvise with stones because they did not have access to a computer for the lesson.
The class six teacher in the school, Augustine Kusi revealed that for years the school has had no access to a single computer system thus decided to teach the pupils how to use the mouse with stones.
The video went viral and the MP together with First Lady and GIFEC have fulfilled the dreams of the pupils.
Mrs Akufo-Addo donated three (3) desktop computers and other learning resources to the school while officials from GIFFEC also presented 14 desktop computers and a projector. The Member of Parliament for the area Mr Ntim Fordour also donated five computers.
All the 22 HP computers were installed at the Junior High School department which has been designated as the ICT Resource Centre for schools in the area.
Meanwhile, other corporate bodies have also indicated their intention to go to the aid of the school to ensure the pupils have practical knowledge of ICT.
