Prior to this intervention, the school had no computers and students had to be taken to nearby schools for practical ICT lessons.
At the inauguration of the facility, Mr Volkan Buyukbicer, Country Manager of Karpowership Ghana, said the project was undertaken to support education and raise literacy levels in communities where the company operated, adding that, “The speedy growth in technology has made acquiring knowledge in the sector very necessary in our day-to-day lives.”
