The Vice
President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, over the weekend, disclosed that the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) government will soon start a ‘one student, one laptop’
policy.
Speaking at an
event in the Volta Region on Saturday, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, said textbooks and
other teaching and learning materials would be installed on the laptops to be
used during lessons.
He further noted
that the initiative will be implemented before the end of 2023.
“If this country
must move forward in the right direction, we must invest in education which is
the only platform for preparing nation builders for tomorrow.
“The Minister
for Education has also assured me that this year, we’ll start the replacement
textbooks with laptops that have textbooks embedded in Senior high Schools”.
However, this
lofty promise caught the ire of Ghanaians on social media by lashing out at the
Vice President.
By the responses
on the policy, many Ghanaians opined that the government should focus on basics
like providing proper textbooks and feeding the students.
