Schools
at Srafa and Imuna in the newly created Ekumfi District in the Central Region
now have access to an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre.
The
20-seater facility, which was constructed by MTN Ghana Foundation, is at the
Srafa Islamic School. The foundation has also constructed a six-unit
classroom block with office and store for the school.
The Executive Secretary of the MTN Ghana Foundation, Mr Robert
Kuzoe, said MTN would continue to support the development of education in the
country. He urged the parents to support their children to take advantage of
the facility to help create a brighter future for the children.
He
said the foundation had also constructed some infrastructure, including a
three-unit and six-unit classroom blocks across all the 10 regions, 18
centres of learning for various schools, dormitories, an ICT laboratory and a
bus for the Akropong School for the Blind.
He
called for strict maintenance of the facility. The headmistress of the
school, Madam Eva Assibi Awuni, said the desire of the school administration
to ensure that the pupils got access to ICT drove them to apply to the MTN
Ghana Foundation.
She thanked the foundation for the support and appealed for
printers, scanners and photocopiers to ensure effective use of the facility. Ms
Vivian Etrue of Metropolitan Education urged the school authorities to block
all sites that were unholy to education and to show films good for
educational purposes.
She
also asked the school to open the place to nearby schools. The Regional
Planning and Budget Officer, Mr John Hayford, said the facilities must
encourage an increase in the enrolment levels in the school.
