A contractor who is Executive Chairman of Edmat and Sons Company Edward Mawutor has donated four(4) brand new HP laptops to Adjena Senior High Technical School within 24 hours .
This was after the attention of the contractor was drawn to the fact that, the school lacks ICT laboratory and computers to facilitate teaching and learning of the subject.
The school with population of over 2000 students has only one functional desktop computer.
The situation is affecting students performance in the subject.
When the sorry situation was revealed by the school authority during a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of three-unit chamber and hall self-contained teacher bungalows for teachers in Adjena Senior High Technical School by the Member of Parliament for Asuogyaman , Thomas Ampem Nyarko, the Executive Chairman of Edmat and Sons Company undertaking the project ,Edward Mawutor shocked by the situation, promised to donate four(4) brand new laptops to the school within 48hours.
Spokesperson for the construction firm , Michael Kofi Oduro told the gathering of students,teachers and chiefs of Adjena -Tafoman that,”The executive chairman is touched after knowing that the entire school has just one computer.We know that science and technology is the order of the day and it means that there is a major gap that needs to be filled.For this matter ,he is promising that in the next 48hours he will deliver 4 brand new laptops for the school”.
True to his words,four Hp laptops were handed over to the school Tuesday May 29,2023 less than the 48 hour promise.
The students could not hide their joy when receiving the laptops.
According to them,it will go a long way to enhance the learning of ICT in the school.
However, management of the school appealed to government and corporate bodies to support the school establish ICT laboratory for the school.
Adjena SHTS has not received any major facelift since its establishment in 1984.
The introduction of free Senior high school policy has worsened pressure on the limited facilities.
