RGC will provide remote monitoring, maintenance, replacement, and updating of the software so that the teachers and the learners of the school can consistently have access to a well-equipped computerlab.

afiDE Ghana also conducted a base training for the educators at the school after the installation of the computerlab. The training was to empower all the teachers of the school with the basic ICT skills they need to train their learners to help them acquire and improve their ICT skills.

Most educators in Ghana, including computing facilitators, lack the basic and required computing knowledge and skills; therefore, they resort to theory-based teaching instead of practical lessons. Due to this, learners do not experience a full practical experience of the subject. Such a situation places students in difficult situations after school where they find themselves lacking the necessary digital skills to compete in the job market.

Schools should take advantage of this opportunity to get quality digital education in their institution, which will boost the image of the school, increase career opportunities, and aim for the development of the nation in the long run. You can reach us at 053 511 1599.

afiDE Ghana(RGC) Partners with GSET to conduct an advance computing skills training for educators.

by BlogEventNews

afiDE Ghana(RGC) in partnership with the Ghana Society for Education and Technology(GSET), has conducted advanced computing training for educators in some parts of the Greater Accra region of Ghana.

The advanced training, coined as bronze training, is an add-on to RGC’s base training, which focused on empowering computing facilitators, formerly ICT facilitators with comprehensive and advanced computing and digital education skills.

 

The training took place at three different places; Nsawam Methodist Primary School (Nsawam) and Acropolis Maranatha Academy (Pokuase) and Sege Community Lab (Sege-Ada West District) from 15th to 16th, 22nd to 23rd, and 29th to 30th October 2024, respectively. More than 50 computing teachers from different public and private schools in the region attended the bronze training.

The bronze training is a module built by RGC to help computing educators understand more advanced programming concepts such as data- structures, functions, and object-oriented programming. During the training, the teachers were made to undertake complex programming projects to prepare them to teach and encourage students to pursue coding initiatives and also, support and mentor students in advanced coding projects to foster their creativity and problem-solving skills.

 

The computing teachers learned and had on hand practical experience with database management systems such as MySQL, Microsoft Access, and so on. During the practical sessions, the teachers were able to extract meaningful information or insight from raw data to create reports and foster their data-driven decision-making in our educational sector.

Another key topic that was taught during the training was:

  • Networking: Teachers understood networking principles, including network types, protocols, and configurations.
  • Cybersecurity: Teachers implement cybersecurity best practices to protect networked systems.

 

Teachers were trained on how to manage and secure ICT environments in their schools, ensuring data privacy and network integrity, and also to take leadership roles in advocating for and implementing technology initiatives in their schools. In addition, teachers were maltreated to provide guidance and mentorship to students engaged in ICT-related projects in their various schools.

Teachers were encouraged to collaborate with non-computing teachers to facilitate technology integration across subjects and grade levels to help boost digital education within Ghanaian society. Teachers were also guided on how to create ICT policies aligned with educational goals and student needs, draft budgets for ICT projects, effectively allocate resources, and develop strategic plans for the seamless integration of ICT into the school curriculum.

afiDE Ghana is keen to provide a solution to the digital education gap within our society, by rendering our computerlab-a-service to schools in Ghana.
