Empowering Students: Curious Minds International School Embraces Sustainable Digital Education with Computerlabs Ghana

Curios Minds International School, Dansoman, has taken a bold step in advancing teaching and learning by partnering with Computerlabs Ghana. The partnership has introduced sustainable digital education through the installation of a modern computerlab. This initiative is not just about equipment; it is about ensuring that students, teachers, and the wider community benefit from long-lasting, reliable, and future-focused access to digital learning.

The computerlab provides 20 learner stations and one teacher station, supported by a central server, internet connectivity, and a backup battery system. But what makes this project unique is the sustainability: continuous software updates, remote monitoring, quarterly hardware maintenance, and an accessible help desk, meaning the facility will remain useful and effective for many years to come. This approach prevents the common problem of facilities breaking down soon after installation and ensures students always have access to working digital tools.

For teachers, the partnership includes professional development. Base training sessions have already been held to help them use the new systems and integrate digital applications like Scratch and Microsoft Word into their lessons. With this support, teachers are not only learning new skills but also building confidence to make their classrooms more interactive and engaging through technology.

The importance of sustainable digital education is clear. For schools, it means reliable facilities that improve learning every day. For students, it offers equal opportunities to gain the digital knowledge needed to succeed in higher education and in the job market. For teachers, it creates opportunities for growth and innovation in the classroom. For the nation, it helps bridge the digital divide, equips the next generation with vital skills, and contributes to long-term social and economic development.

School leaders at Curios Minds International School describe the partnership as a major milestone. They believe it positions their students to thrive in a world where digital literacy is no longer optional but essential.

Computerlabs Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to building sustainable digital education across the country. The company continues to invite schools, parents, educators, and partners to join in creating a future where every child in Ghana can benefit from reliable and lasting access to digital learning.

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.
