afiDE Ghana Set to Empower More Than 400 Learners and 21 Educators at Upper Class International School

afiDE Ghana is set to empower more than 400 learners and 21 educators at Upper Class International School through its Digital Education as a Service program. The school will benefit from a fully equipped Digital Education Lab, which includes learner workstations, a teacher station, licensed educational software, and internet access. The lab allows students to learn using technology while giving teachers the tools they need to deliver interactive lessons.

The Digital Education Lab is designed to develop practical digital skills and increase engagement in classrooms. By combining modern infrastructure with ongoing support, afiDE Ghana ensures the Digital Education Lab remains a sustainable and reliable resource for both teachers and students. Sustainability is central to the program, with regular maintenance, software updates, and help desk support to keep the Digital Education Lab functional over time.

In addition, the school leaders will benefit from afiDE Ghana’s Leadership Academy Platform. This platform provides school leaders with resources, guidance, and mentorship to strengthen leadership skills, implement effective school-wide strategies, and support teachers and students in achieving the school’s learning goals. Together with the Digital Education Lab, the Leadership Academy Platform ensures a comprehensive and sustainable approach to modern education.

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, afiDE Ghana conducted a Base Training workshop for the 21 teachers at Upper Class International School. The training focused on using and managing the Digital Education Lab. Teachers learned the basic setup of the lab, how to operate the learner workstations and teacher station, and explored the educational software installed on the Digital Education Lab. They practiced integrating the software into lessons and guiding students to use the lab safely and effectively. The workshop also gave teachers practical exposure to ensure they could confidently apply what they learned in their classrooms. Sustainability was emphasized throughout, so teachers could maintain the Digital Education Lab for long-term use.

The program offers significant benefits to all members of the school community. Students gain critical digital literacy skills, hands-on learning experience, and improved engagement that prepares them for future academic and career opportunities. Teachers acquire practical skills, confidence, and ongoing support to deliver interactive and technology-driven lessons. School leaders develop leadership capacity to guide digital learning and manage innovation across the school.

The school itself benefits from enhanced teaching and learning outcomes, a sustainable technology infrastructure, and recognition as a leader in digital education. Ultimately, the program contributes to Ghana’s education sector by developing a generation of learners and educators ready to thrive in a global, digital economy.

Through its services, afiDE Ghana continues to champion quality education, digital innovation, and sustainability. With its Digital Education Lab and Leadership Academy Platform, the organization empowers schools to Go Digital, Lead the Future. Upper Class International School now stands at the forefront of technology-enhanced learning, demonstrating how sustainable digital education can transform classrooms, empower educators, and prepare students to excel both today and in the future.

We entreat schools to partner with afiDE Ghana to enjoy such a great initiative for their learners, teachers, and school leaders. Interested schools should contact 053 511 1599 to join this transformative program.
