Law-Beck Foundation Breaks 45-Year ICT Barrier in Atwima Mponua Schools
After 45 years without ICT tools, three Atwima Mponua schools receive computers and learning materials from the Law-Beck Foundation
- Three deprived schools receive their first computers in 45 years to boost ICT learning
- Law-Beck Foundation donates computers, bags, books, shoes, and math sets
- Teachers and students say the intervention will greatly improve ICT teaching and skills
After 45 years without access to computers, pupils of Obuasikrom D/A Primary and JHS, Dodoa D/A Basic, and Osiekrom Basic Schools have finally received brand-new computers to enhance IT education, thanks to the intervention of the Law-Beck Foundation.
All the beneficiary schools are located in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region.
During the presentation ceremony at the premises of Obuasikrom D/A School, the Foundation further donated school bags, customized Law-Beck Foundation exercise books, shoes, and mathematical sets to the students.
Speaking to Lawson News, the Headteacher of Obuasikrom D/A Primary School, Mr. Nanm Barnabas Biidami, revealed that since the school’s establishment in 1980—45 years ago—it had never possessed a single computer for IT lessons.
The ICT Teacher, Sir Daniel Marfo, also told Lawson News that the lack of computers had negatively affected teaching and learning. He noted that with the new sets of computers, students will now have the opportunity to improve their ICT skills.
Some of the student beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the Law-Beck Foundation for their generosity.
Thomas Kofi Amofa, affectionately known as Amof Powers and the organizer for Law-Beck Foundation, told Lawson News that although the Foundation is widely known for donating exercise books, school bags, and other learning materials, it now recognizes a growing need to support ICT education in government schools.
Nana Owusu Ansah II, Adontenhene of Oppong Valley, who graced the event, extended his Christmas greetings to Ghanaians and encouraged the public to emulate Madam Rebecca and her husband, the CEO of Lawson Group of Companies, Dr. Lawson Kyei Maanu.
