The Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, has stressed the need for technology integration in Ghana's education system. He stated that in this digital age, access to the internet and other technologies is essential for learning new skills.

Prof Nyarko made these comments during the donation of Educational Technology Equipment to two schools within the Kwadaso Constituency.

The beneficiary schools are the Asuoyeboah M/A Junior High School (JHS) and the Ohwimase Anglican JHS. The donation, facilitated by the Ministry of Education, included teacher laptops, 100 tablets (50 for each school), projectors (one for each school), a content access point (one for each school), a storage unit (one for each school), virtual library, coding robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) kit curriculum, and teacher 4.0 curriculum and training.

The MP explained that the provision of such essential educational technologies would enhance the development of literacy and problem-solving, as well as provide curriculum support and additional information to pupils.

He encouraged and advised the pupils to make good use of the technologies provided to help upgrade their knowledge in ICT.

He also urged the management of the schools to ensure that the equipment is put to good use and maintained.
