240 SHS to benefit from integrated e-learning laboratories



Government is providing 240 E-learning laboratories to 240 selected Senior High Schools (SHS) in the country to facilitate teaching and learning through ICT. 

Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman, Minister of Education on Tuesday, August 10, 2016 said the E-learning laboratories project is aimed at improving educational outcomes in the country through ICT.

Speaking at the launch of the project in Accra, she revealed that as part of government’s commitment to promote education in the country, a 13.2 million Euros loan was contracted from the Belgium government for the project.

The E-learning project, a component of the current TELEVIC agreement seeks to support the implementation of the government’s E-learning objectives and plans; provide the technology needed to develop electronic course material for schools, facilitate computer lab-based classroom teaching and promote access to ICT infrastructure by connecting all beneficiary educational senior high schools to internet support learning; facilitate ICT integration in the curriculum and to build capacity of teachers.

The Integrated E-learning laboratories project in collaboration with other e-learning projects such as E-transform and Secondary Education Improvement Project (SEIP) according to the Minister will provide standard, nationally relevant content for all senior high schools in Ghana, beginning with public schools.

 Under the regional distribution of the beneficiary schools list, Ashanti Region tops with 40 laboratories followed by the Volta Region, 37 and Eastern Region, 32. Others are Brong Ahafo Region 31, Central Region 28, Northern Region 23, Western Region 18, Upper West Region 13, and Greater Accra and Upper East Region 9 each.

Prof. Opoku-Agyeman hinted two other e-learning projects are also being implemented through the World Bank facility for 200 SHS.

“Our plan is to cover all public SHSs as all three projects come on stream. This project is instructive of government and Ministry’s determination to exploit all relevant and beneficiary avenues to ensure quality education” the Minister stressed.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time.

Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
