Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice-President of Ghana 

The Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has announced that the government will distribute free electronic tablets to all Senior High Schools this year.

Dr Bawumia said the "game-changing" development was part of the government's ongoing digitization agenda which has already seen the implementation of free WI-FI at SHSs across the country.

The Vice President said he had been informed by the Minister of Education, Yaw Osei Adutwum, that the country was on course to provide the tablets which will come pre-loaded with textbooks and past examination questions.

“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 to all and I pray that it does come to pass this year...,” Dr Bawumia said

Dr Bawumia made this known when he addressed the opening of the 2023 Annual New Year School and Conference (ANYSC) yesterday at the University of Ghana, Legon.

2023 Annual New Year School and Conference (ANYSC) Opened

8 Windows system diagnostic commands you should memorize

Microsoft surface laptop on a table The Command Prompt in Windows is a program that acts like a text-based input field within the Windows Graphical User Interface (UI).  While it isn't as central a tool in Windows 10 and 11 as it once was, it remains incredibly useful. You can use it for advanced admin tasks and, most importantly, to troubleshoot and fix a bunch of issues on your laptop or gaming PC. Here we discuss the 9 essential Windows system diagnostic commands that are worth committing to memory. 8 Ping For those network issues The ping command is a Command Prompt command used to test the ability of the source computer to reach a specified destination computer.

Transforming our sense of wrong and right!

By -
We face a serious moral dilemma that pervades all sectors of our national life. It appears that our sense of wrong and right has blurred to the extent that we cannot differentiate between the two. We seem to have lost the basic ingredient that serves as a guide towards the creation of an egalitarian society. We live in a society that encourages and glorifies lawbreakers. In addition, the society encourages the wrong more than it praises the good. To some extent, we seem not to know the difference between the two. This is applicable in all segments of the society from the family to the national level. We encounter this moral burden in the following ways: A society where the family values no longer matters. A society that encourages and does not question the source of wealth of an individual but exults and worships the individual. A society that lives in and believes in falsehood and deception.  A society that breeds individuals that have no conscious and only thinks of personal gain.

The Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwa, witnessed the distribution of Laptops to teachers at O'Reily Senior High School in Accra on Monday. The distribution train made a stop at the O'reily SHS amidst cheers and excitement from teachers. In presenting the devices, the Director General discounted the perception that the TM 1 Laptops are of poor quality simply because they were not coming from any of the known brands of computers. On the cost of the Laptop as being expensive, the DG said "even the simplest smartphone does not cost less than GHc 500.00" and that if a "teacher is parting away with such an amount to own a Laptop, that cannot be described as shortchanging the teacher." The Deputy Director General in charge of Quality & Access, Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh, used the opportunity to educate the teachers on the use of the Laptop and its content.  He added that the Laptops were preloaded with teaching re

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle. Two Nissan patrol vehicles belonging to the Education directorate were also taken by the court. The vehicles were confiscated to be auctioned to pay up salary arrears of a former headmaster of the school who accused the school and education service of injustices including inappropriate dismissal and concealing his promotion letter. Late Lionel Mahama was dismissed as headmaster of the school in 1997. His salary was blocked for years until a CHRAJ ruled in his favor and ordered his reinstateme
