Launched by Dr. Bawumia in September 2021, the programme aims to enhance teaching and learning outcomes in pre-tertiary institutions nationwide. With the government covering 70 percent of the laptop cost and teachers contributing the remaining 30 percent, this initiative underscores a shared dedication to educational excellence and technological progress.
Dr. Bawumia’s initiative continues to set a new standard for educational reform in Ghana, equipping educators with the tools they need to excel and drive the nation’s progress forward.
