The Executive Director of Coderina Ghana, Mr. Benjamin Amoako, has called on corporate Ghana to support government efforts to establish more ICT centres across the country to enhance the teaching and learning of ICT and robotics.
According to him, recent research conducted by his outfit indicates that only about 15 percent of schools in the country have fully furnished ICT infrastructure, a situation he described as alarming. He therefore appealed for corporate support to help bridge the gap and strengthen ICT and robotics education in schools.
Mr. Amoako made the appeal on Friday, June 19, 2026, when he, together with MTN Ghana and Skyline High School in the United States of America, donated 100 robotic kits to the Ministry of Education. The kits are expected to be forwarded to the Ghana Education Service for distribution to selected schools in the Northern, Savannah, and Upper East Regions.
He further disclosed that his organisation, in collaboration with MTN Ghana and another partner (whose name was not disclosed), is working to establish mobile ICT labs. These labs, he explained, will be deployed to schools and communities selected by the Ministry to train students in digital literacy.
“Per our records, only about 15 percent of our learners or schools have fully equipped ICT labs, and this is alarming. We cannot expect the Ministry or government to do everything alone. As organisations, we need to support our nation. We are also partnering with an organisation in the USA and MTN to develop mobile ICT labs that can be deployed to any school of the Ministry’s choice,” he said.
