You are providing students/pupils with computers now, but will provide teachers with theirs later. Who are those to teach students how to use them? How can teachers use projectors to teach in a country where there is absolutely NO sign of solving the current, perennial power problems? As teachers in Rural Ghana, we are satisfied using the chalkboard. How did you know that using a chalkboard posses a problem to teachers? Please, learn to prioritize and do the right thing at the right time.

...IT IS CLEAR THE GREEDY CORRUPT NDC BASTARDS AND CRIMINAL AFARI GYAN'S EC RIGGED THE ELECTION, HOWEVER, MANY VOTERS WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL NDC DWARFS. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MARCHAVELIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

Mr Minister, go to the villages and assess the importance of your work. They need the test books not syllabus on the net. You elites in Ghana are not updated at all.

What a useless agenda. The very basic problems in our education are not solved. You are dishing millions of euros just to digitized syllabus? You are not serious. How many universities in the world have done this, let alone JHS/SHS? Oh God, what kind useless leaders are ruling this country? They are out of touch with the problems of the nation. Its all about corruption. In this so called digitization, as useless as it is, only God knows the thievery that has gone on behind closed doors. God save us.

Please do not just give them out. Do think about it's maintenance and ensure it serves the purpose as I will not be suprise some of these devices would end up on the black market if proper arrangements are not made.

Also when will these be replaced and by who? We need proper policies including inventory.

Why has it taken so long ti digitise the syllabus? And by extension, the SHS must also receive greater attention?

Shame unto you, FOOLISH MAN. You gave the Laptops to those idiot literate-illiterates to vote for you denying the poor shool child. God will hammer you idiot. Have you thought of the teacher's salary?

great idea, now lets talk practicality, we cannt supply enough books but feel we can supply enough computers??? each kid must have because they will do homework, thru same medium.
next we have internet access all schools should also ne networked for this to be able to happen.
next relable power supply to charge these lattops, then training for both teachers and administrators as well as puplis, 13million usd??? hmmmmm if all this has been taken into consideration, then great idea, if not then its just anotherway for someone to get gthier 10% and move on.

We don't need that kind of money for digitizing our curriculum. Are they going to be interactive E-Resources? Even that will not cost that much. What formats are they going come as? PDF, HTML, Epub, Mobi? Something does not add up. I hope it's not a cover for just spending our monies.

This case needs investigation. What company is doing this project; is it Ghanaian or was given to a foreign company? What will be the scope and functionality in the project? Why does it cost so much?

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwasi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwasi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwasi Prat can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Prat and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratts recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Patt has the gut to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

How can you say you do not support somebody then turn around and say you are happy they have been given a job? We all have our preferences but you have to be principled and objective. I am afraid you lack both!

It is unthinkable that digitization alone should cost 1 million dollars let alone 13.7 million. Give this project to a patriotic Ghanaian and he will do it under 500 000 dolars

Very good point but we have the technology that can solve the problem,but owners of rlg and the government are not willing to pursue that technology.If Gideon Agyare solar technology can power outboard motor and save solar power to light street light the same technology can power lap top computer and create jobs if rlg will partner Gideon Agyare on his solar technology to solve that problem to make learning fun.

Considering the recent housing "cash" released to the MP's, it means the Ghana Government has the ability, capacity, and every thing it takes to launch this country unto a higher platform of success. Ayeekoo!!, My humble appeal is that, all teachers should be supplied with the laptops rather than the would be selected few. Some village schools do not even have chalk to write, the services of the Military could be sought to use their big vehicles to convey TLM's to those rural schools whilst embarking on the ICT Project.

Yes, in situations like these we need anas, I think ghana should focus on training more investigative journalists because anas alone can't do all the work.we need him to confirm such projects like these. I agree with the comments about the teachers need the laptops first. Yes they really do, without the teachers how are these kids going to learn how to use the laptops?
