BACKGROUND

Through research, CLG discovered that most schools in Ghana lack sustainable digital education, due to various factors, including educators lacking the requisite digital knowledge and skills that they need to teach the learners. CLG, as part of its digital-education-as-service, provides stages of training for partner schools’ educators, including the gold training. Through gold training, CLG aims to equip more teachers with the technological skills needed today. The newly trained educators will, in turn, train others, helping ensure that most teachers in the country become digitally skilled and ready for modern classrooms.

Computerlabs Ghana Partners with PAMEPI to provide sustainable digital education for selected schools in the Northern Region

Computerlabs Ghana (CLG) has partnered with the Paabinaa Meriga Peace Initiative (PAMEPI) to deliver sustainable digital education to selected schools in the Northern Region of Ghana. This groundbreaking initiative aims to empower schools, teachers, and students—particularly in underserved communities that lack functioning and sustainable ICT infrastructure—to access the tools and skills they need for the digital age.

Through the partnership, CLG and PAMEPI will work together to install over 21,000 computers, impact more than 31,000 students, renovate ICT rooms in partner schools, and provide comprehensive digital education training for teachers.

To launch the program, CLG has completed a pilot installation of 63 computers at Business Senior High School in Tamale. This pilot will help the organization better understand the digital learning needs and behaviors of both teachers and students, enabling them to refine their digital education-as-a-service model for long-term sustainability in the region.

The computers come equipped with 4G MTN routers, a monthly internet bundle, and GES-approved educational software. CLG will also provide regular maintenance, repairs, replacements, and technical support to ensure uninterrupted learning.

On May 5, 2025, CLG and PAMEPI officially launched the new computer lab at Business Senior High School. Speaking at the event, Pim de Bokx, General Manager of Computerlabs Ghana, emphasized that the lack of sustainable digital education is a national challenge, largely due to the absence of ongoing technical support after computers are purchased or donated. He described the partnership with PAMEPI as a crucial turning point for schools in the Northern Region, one that will prepare students for the future and contribute to Ghana’s development.

The Chief Executive Director of PAMEPI highlighted the urgent need for such an initiative, recalling how in the past, computing facilitators had to use stones to explain what a computer mouse looked like. “It is time we put an end to such outdated teaching methods,” she said. “This initiative is a bridge to dignity and dreams for the future leaders of this country in a digitally driven world.” She also shared her vision of a future where more women in the Northern Region become digital innovators, people with disabilities have equal access to ICT, and no learner is left behind.

A representative of the Regional Director of Education commended the project as one that aligns with Ghana Education Service (GES) policy and urged CLG to expand its reach to other regions so more schools can benefit from sustainable digital education.

Computerlabs Ghana remains committed to providing sustainable ICT solutions, technical support, and digital empowerment for schools and communities in underserved areas.

CLG is calling on the Government, NGOs, private institutions, schools, parents, and individuals to support this mission, ensuring both current and future generations are prepared for a technology-driven world.

Your school can also benefit from sustainable digital education—partner with Computerlabs Ghana today.

Magmount Zion International School has partnered with afiDE Ghana (RGC) to advance to digital education. The partnership helped Magmount Zion International School transition to a 21-workstation computerlab which comes with a server, thin client, internet, an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), router with monthly data bundle, Ghana’s ICT curriculum software, and teacher training.

After RGC installed the 21 workstations for MagMount Zion International School

Some of this software is Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Publisher. Other software includes GIMP for editing images, TIP10 for typing lessons, Scratch for coding, and some generic applications such as File Manager, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, File Explorer, Recycle Bin, and PDF Reader. 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.

RGC Teacher Trainer taking the educators of Magmount Zion for the base training

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.
