THE Presbyterian Primary and Junior High School at Kwabeng, capital of the newly created Atiwa District in the Eastern Region, now have computers.
The 20 computers, with accessories, were the personal donation by Alhaji Mustapha Boateng, the Managing Director of Chocho Industries, who is also a citizen of Kwabeng.
Making the presentation at a ceremony at Kwabeng, Alhaji Mustapha Boateng, who is an old pupil of the school, said he took that initiative to ensure that the pupils were computer literate to properly fit into the fast-changing world.
He said it was unfortunate that schools in the rural areas such as Kwabeng should lack information and communication technology (ICT) facilities while those in the municipalities and metropolises had them.
Alhaji Mustapha Boateng said such an unfortunate situation had made it impossible for pupils in the rural areas to catch up with their counterparts in the municipalities.
He expressed the hope that the teachers would do their best to ensure that the pupils used the computers within a limited period.
In a speech read on her behalf, the Atiwa District Director of Education, Madam Stella Gyantu, said the donation had come at the appropriate time to enable the pupils to be at par in ICT with others elsewhere.
The Atiwa District Chief Executive, Mr Atta Twum, gave the assurance that the assembly would facilitate the engagement of computer literate teachers to take the pupils through computer classes.
