Radiant Oak Academy has partnered with afiDE Ghana to set up a 21-workstation computerlab, enhancing technology-driven education in the school. As part of the partnership, afiDE Ghana will also train and support the school’s computing facilitators, equipping them with the skills to effectively teach and utilize the modern computers and software provided.
afiDE Ghana will also train and support the computing facilitators of the school to better understand how to teach and use the modern computers and software setup by RecellGhana Computer labs. Additionally, Radiant Oak Academy will have access to a 24-hour help desk, a backup battery, hardware and software maintenance, replacement of faulty equipment, and remote monitoring to make sure the computer lab is fully functioning.
With the fully equipped computerlab, Radiant Oak Academy can now integrate technology in their teaching and learning, which in the end will help the students to be digitally inclined and prepare them for the future. Every educational institution’s dream is to provide high-quality education to its learners. In this data-driven and digital era, education without a modern and fully equipped ICT lab, is like using a computer without a screen. Radiant Oak Academy is taking a bold step to partner with afiDE Ghana will not only empower its learners with technological knowledge and skills but will also help eradicate or reduce the technological gap in our Ghanaian society.
afiDE Ghana has also conducted a base training session for the educators of the school to initiate the use of the computer lab. The training covered the basic units of RGC’s computerlabs. The training took place on 11th February 2025 at the premises of Radiant Oak Academy.
RGC offers a comprehensive four-stage training program designed to help equip educators with the technological knowledge and skills needed in today’s era. This training will enable educators to integrate technology effectively into their teaching and enhance their productivity in the workplace. The teacher training is valuable for educators, as data indicates that many teachers in Ghana are not technologically or digitally proficient, resulting in a lack of the necessary computing resources to effectively teach students.
