The American Tower Corporation (ATC) Ghana Digital Communities ICT Learning Centre has established a community information and communication technology (ICT) center at the Ghana Girls Guide Centre at Achimota in Accra.
The center is one of nine other centers to be commissioned across nine regions, such as Kpembi Salaga in the Savannah Region, Dromankese in the Bono East Region, Techimantia in the Ahafo Region, Panfokrom in the Central Region, Kojoaba in the Western Region, Bodada in the Oti Region, Peki Tsiame in the Volta Region, and Mangu in the Upper West Region.
“This is important to us because, as the leading provider of telecommunications infrastructure to support network connectivity in Ghana, the availability of highly skilled ICT professionals is key to the sustainability of our operations,” said the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Ashutosh Singh.
“They are located strategically close to basic schools to ensure easy access to aid teaching and learning,” he added.
Maamle Andrews, speaking on behalf of the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutum, the Chief Director of the Ministry, thanked the ATC for the initiative and said, “their location, which is close to basic schools, will ensure easy access to teaching and learning and provide much-needed basic computing skills and coding programming to thousands of schoolchildren in the community.”
