Speaking at this year’s New Year School at the University of Ghana, Legon, on Tuesday, January 17, Dr. Bawumia explained that the move forms part of government’s digitisation agenda.
He says the tablets will have textbooks and past questions loaded onto them.
Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia says the government will provide senior high school students with electronic tablets.
Dr Bawumia said “this game-changing development” is aimed at equipping the students with the relevant materials for their studies.
“This year, we are on course to provide all Senior High School students in Ghana with tablets which are loaded with textbooks on them for their studies.”
“That’s a very game-changing development. We will have past questions preloaded on these tablets that will be distributed,” the Vice President noted.
