The Ghana Education Service (GES) is said to have distributed over 80 per cent of 62,000 laptops to senior high school (SHS) teachers under the One Teacher, One Laptop programme.
According to graphic online ,this forms the first phase of the distribution exercise, which is expected to end on December 17, 2021.Phase two, which will cover all teachers in public junior high schools (JHSs), will begin when schools re-open in January 2022, while all public basic school teachers will benefit from the programme under the third phase. The Director-General of the GES, Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa,while handing over the laptops to the Headmistress of the O’Reilly SHS, Madam Rejoice Akua Acorlor, in Accra yesterday, said some SHS teachers might not benefit from the programme under the first phase because their schools run the single-track system, for which reason those schools were on vacation.
He then gave an assurance stating that those teachers would receive their laptops when their schools reopened in January 2022. He said the laptops had a storage capacity of 256 gigabytes and a ramp of 12 gig and came with computer bags.
He explained that unlike other brands of laptops, those that were provided for teachers had a two-year warranty and could be operated with multiple windows.
