The next governor of Anambra, to be chosen this weekend, at least has one less problem to worry about – technology for secondary school students.

Its present governor, Peter Obi yesterday distributed 22,500 laptops and 1,400 printers worth N2.65 billion to secondary schools in the state, as well as cheques to the partner companies,

He disclosed that the state government had also procured 520 transformers for distribution to schools in the 177 communities in the state.

“It is our commitment on ICT in secondary schools to improve learning in the state,” Obi, who also bought 520 transformers for schools, said. “What we are doing here today with educational instruments is the biggest the world over.’’

 

 

Noting that the computers have the national curriculum inbuilt as well as internet connections, he said “this programme will help our teachers to integrate ICT into their teaching and learning practices,’’ he said.

 

“It is a complete technology education solution connecting students, teachers, employers and local communities through leading edge technical skill development,’’ his education commissioner, Uju Okeke added.
