Digital Education Comes to Tinkong Presbyterian Basic School as MCE Champions Technology for 425 Students and 21 Teachers

Digital education has officially been introduced to the classrooms of Tinkong Presbyterian Basic School in Ghana’s Eastern Region, ushering in a transformative new era for over 425 students and 21 dedicated teachers who are now better equipped to succeed in a digital world.

 

afiDE Ghana, in collaboration with the school and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area, Mr. John Evans Kumordzi, who played a key role as sponsor, successfully installed a fully equipped Digital Education Lab at the school. This installation represents a major milestone not only for the school but for the wider community, demonstrating what can be achieved when strong government leadership meets innovative educational solutions.

The Digital Education Lab features learner workstations, a dedicated teacher station, licensed educational software, and reliable internet connectivity. The facility is designed to transform teaching and learning, shifting classrooms from traditional chalk and talk methods to engaging, technology-driven instruction.

Following the installation, afiDE Ghana conducted a Base Training workshop for all 21 teachers at the school. Among the trained educators, 3 are male and 18 are female, highlighting the significant role women play in foundational education across Ghana. The training focused on equipping teachers with practical skills to operate the computer lab, manage learner workstations, navigate educational software, and confidently integrate digital tools into their daily lessons. Through hands-on sessions, teachers gained the confidence needed to apply their knowledge immediately and sustain the effective use of the lab over time.

For the 425 students of Tinkong Presbyterian Basic School, the new Digital Education Lab opens pathways to essential digital literacy, interactive learning experiences, and opportunities that ensure they remain competitive in an increasingly connected world.

This achievement was made possible through the vision and commitment of Mr. John Evans Kumordzi, whose dedication to investing in public education at the community level has positively impacted the lives of hundreds of young learners. afiDE Ghana remains deeply appreciative of partnerships like this, where leadership prioritizes learners and invests in their future.

Through its Digital Education as a Service (DEaS) program, afiDE Ghana continues to promote sustainable digital education for both public and private schools across Ghana. The program includes ongoing maintenance, software updates, help desk support, and access to the Leadership Academy Platform for school leaders.

For two full years, your teachers will receive training and ongoing support as part of the “C4K” programme. They will not be left alone to figure things out. afiDE and AmaliTech walk with them every step of the way, building teacher confidence alongside student skills. This is Digital Education as a Service DEaS support designed to strengthen your school from within.

 

At the end of the programme, your school can subscribe student teams for the annual “C4K” Championship, a national competition where young coders from member schools come together to showcase what they have built. It is more than a competition. It is proof that your school is helping build Ghana’s digital future.

The “C4K” programme is part of afiDE’s DEaS model, Digital Education as a Service, which supports both public and private schools in building real, lasting digital capacity. School leadership, teacher development, and student skills all grow together.

Happy Easter: A Time for Schools to Rise into Digital Learning

Happy Easter: A Time for Schools to Rise into Digital Learning

This Easter season of the resurrection of Jesus Christ reminds us that growth and transformation are possible. Just as life is renewed, schools also have the opportunity to rethink, rebuild, and rise into stronger systems of teaching and learning.

Across Ghana, many schools continue to operate with systems that limit the full potential of digital learning. Teachers may not yet have the right digital skills, school leadership may lack structured systems, and technology may not be fully integrated into daily learning. These gaps affect both teaching and student outcomes.

But Easter reminds us that transformation is possible.

At afiDE Ghana, we support schools with Digital Education as a Service (DEaS). Our work focuses on helping schools move from ideas to real digital impact by building the right systems, strengthening teacher capacity, and supporting school leadership to guide digital transformation effectively.

We do not just introduce technology. We help schools build sustainable systems that integrate digital learning into everyday teaching and learning. When the right systems are in place, digital learning comes to life and creates real impact.

This season of resurrection is an opportunity for school leaders, educators, and institutions to take action and rise to enhance digital education. It is a time to move beyond ideas and begin building strong digital learning environments that will benefit both teachers and students.

Learn how afiDE is helping schools transform through DEaS and build the future of digital learning.
