The government of Ghana has launched the One Student One Tablet initiative, with the goal of providing comprehensive teaching and learning management systems, digital learning content, and electronic devices to all senior high and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools nationwide. This initiative aims to enhance learning outcomes and educational access for students across the country.
In an interview on JoyNews on March 22, Adwabour disclosed that all 503 public SHS and TVET institutions in Ghana will benefit from this initiative. However, the distribution will be carried out in phases, with each phase covering 30 schools. This phased approach is expected to take more than a year to complete.
Adwabour emphasized that the One Student One Tablet initiative is a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders, including the private sector, public industry, academia, and the Ghana Education Service (GES), responsible for overseeing SHS and TVET education. Students from all levels of SHS and TVET, including those in Form 1, Form 2, and Form 3, will be included in the distribution process. The tablets earmarked for the initiative have already arrived in the country and will be distributed to GES and TVET stores located in various districts for further distribution to the respective schools.
The launch of the initiative signifies the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to improve learning outcomes and educational access for students. By providing students with electronic devices and digital learning content, the government aims to enhance the quality of education and empower students with the tools they need to succeed in their academic pursuits.
The One Student One Tablet initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize education in Ghana and ensure that students have access to the resources and technology they need to thrive in the digital age. By equipping schools with the necessary tools and resources, the government is working to create a conducive learning environment that promotes student success and achievement.
Overall, the One Student One Tablet initiative is a significant step towards bridging the digital divide in education and ensuring that all students have equal access to quality learning resources. Through this initiative, the government is empowering students with the tools they need to excel academically and achieve their full potential.
