The Samsung Smart School for teachers is to equip teachers with the skills needed in their teaching activities, with digital content that makes learning fun and interesting for the learners.
Teachers would receive training on how to access digital content, share it with students, monitor student progress and conduct assessments.
Mr Jingak Chung, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics, Ghana said the programme is in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal to improve education.
“We believe it is essential to equip teachers with basic computer literacy, as well as the tools they need to use ICTs for curriculum development and more impactful teaching, and the Smart School for Teachers is an important step in achieving this,” he added.
Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, the Minister of Education, who attended the handing over ceremony of the Samsung Smart School in Eguafo, Central Region lauded Samsung for undertaken such a project and advised the teachers to take advantage of the initiative to improve their ICT skills in teaching and learning.
Ghana is the latest country to benefit from the Samsung Smart School initiative, with other schools already established in countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Togo, Senegal and Rwanda.
