Progress In Education (PIE Ghana), a Non-Governmental Organization,
has donated stationery, teaching modules, Science and Laboratory equipment to
34 Senior High Schools across the country.
The equipment, which includes computers, printers, and
projector screens, is to augment the Government's efforts to reach out to
deprived schools across the country.
Addressing the ceremony, the Reverend Daniel
Ogbarmey-Tetteh, the Executive Director of Data Bank, said Science and
Technology were life changing subjects and must be supported by all educational
stakeholders to be taught and learned successfully to impact on society.
Rev Ogbarmey-Tetteh said students must be encouraged
to use modern techniques of solving problems, and this could be done with
computers and Internet facilities.
Parents and teachers, he said, should, also work with
the students to relate to Science in a practical way.
He also advised the Government to support NGOs who
solicited funds and equipment to support the educational Sector with tax
incentives.
The Chairperson of the ceremony, Dr Mrs Sylvia Boye, a
former head of the West African Examination Council, urged the students to
share their passions with level-headed and open-minded people related to their
courses for better advice and future gains.
PIE Ghana is headquartered in Houston, USA, and has
since 2000 supported schools with educational materials, especially
Science-related ones.
