Teachers learn ICT skills at the CFED centre in Ghana
Training teachers in Ghana Ghana has 5 PCs per 1,000 people All secondary-level school children in Ghana are set ICT exams, however few schools actually have computers. Where ICT is available, teachers often lack the skills and knowledge to use them or the technical support required to maintain them. To address this situation, Computer Aid has been working with Computers for Education and Development (CFED) to provide PCs for use in an ICT training programme for teachers. The centre provides access to computers as well as the training required to help teachers gain the experience and skills necessary to teach ICT to their students. As a result of this training, teachers are able to use ICT to the best possible advantage. For example, they can download lesson plans and teaching programmes to improve lesson content and quality across all subjects. They are also able to teach ICT skills to a high level, which can bring huge benefits to their students’ further education and employment prospects. The Centre also opens to the wider public as an internet café and provides short courses on specific subjects for a minimal fee outside of course hours. This not only increases ICT access for the whole community but also ensures that the centre is sustainable in the long term.
