I'm a professional teacher and I teach ICT in a junior high school. My frustration is that my school has no computer laboratory as the case with many Ghanaian public schools. We managed to buy some used computers few years ago but they are all broken down. The nightmare and the irony is that my students and many others from similar poor schools sit for the same examination with those from well equipped schools and are expected to meet the same requirements for admission into senior high schools.

I used my personal laptop to teach ICT with an average class size of 45 students. My school has three year groups ( form 1-3) with each year group having three streams. So the school has a total of nine classes and the number of classrooms are expected to increase in the next few academic years to come as a result of increasing population and the increasing awareness to send children to school.In fact, commendations to #USAID, #UKAID, #SocialImpact, #DLA and many other NGOS in this drive.

My school is state run and managed by Ghana Education Service. It's located in a poor community with majority of families struggling to meet their daily needs. Government subventions to schools are poor. The contributions to the school by the Parents Teachers Association ( P.T.A) is almost nonexistent as a poor community school.

I'm concerned about my students as they fall behind in this technological world. In fact, majority of the students are clueless when you put a computer before them. It's that pathetic!

I'm seeking advice on how to seek help to organize a computer laboratory for my school, and if possible some other ones especially, in remote rural communities. A donation of used or old computers will make a difference in someone's life.

May God bless you all.
