The era of students carrying so many text books to school will soon be over as President Mahama has indicated that hos administration intends converting them into an electronic module.
According to him, the text books for the various core subjects will be converted into softwares which will be put on tablets and distributed to Junior High and Senior High School students.
“Students will receive tablets that have all their core subjects on the tablet. If the pilot is successful, the programme shall be expanded,” he said.
President Mahama assured that a lot will be seen under the education sector once Ghanaians renew his mandate on December 7, 2016.
“We will provide accommodation for teachers who will accept postings to rural areas,” he added.
The President made this known at the highlights of the NDC's 2016 manifesto, Tuesday.
Colleges For Training Nursery Teachers
A Mahama-led administration when elected into office will establish Colleges of Education to train teachers in early childhood care.
According to President Mahama "our commitment will be to establish colleges of education for the sole purpose of training teachers in early childhood care and development. What we have done is we have added the two years of kindergarten to our school system. Unfortunately, while we are training teachers for primary, junior high schools and senior high school, we are not training teachers for early childhood learning and so normally it is done by daycare attendants and normally if you give the child a good start at the kindergarten, they are able to maintain it throughout their education. So we’re going to set up colleges of education that will train teachers who are specialised in training children at the early level from four years and upwards”

i feel like throwing out with these flemzy promises
The more I hear of him, the more eager i am to vote JM out
JM, you are rather making Ghanaians angry with your childish promises based on previous unfulfilled ones. It is easy for NPP to point out that you have nothing to offer any more and 4 more years on you will be fuuuuuulish. As far as am concerned, I have made up my mind that I will vote for a new leader in december.
No electricity, expensive internet service, no chalk teachers, no classroom for schools, no chairs for pupils, teachers teaching ICT on black board etc. Yet this president is promising 1 tablet per student. Arab spring on the way should this president wins in 2016. He has taken Ghanaians for a full for far too long. Please wise up. God damn Mahamamah. Be careful with this perception about Ghanaians. We are wising up and you need to wise up as a leader.
Oh man!!! You promised ten Training Colleges and till now not a single foundation profile has been dug. You are here promising One Tablet One Student, heheheheheeeee!!!! I never knew till now that Common Sense is not Common to even someone who claims to be a leader of a country. God save Ghana.
Let us be honest to each other how long can this Tablet last ? do you know the complications involve using this Tablet,Please Mr president let them use the text book of ..Because we can't even have enough power!!
Please this is pure political mad.ness from political point of view. Is the president okey when highlighting this to the people of Ghana. I now understand the reason why he said "HE CAN'T THINK FAR, BUT CAN ONLY THINK MAD.NESS". Even common CHALK you cannot provide. CHANGE MUST HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
What happened to the ONE CHILD ONE LAPTOP program that NDC initiated and RLG made ridiculous money on. Remember the laptops with the Ghana Coat of Arms on them. Didn't we also have brief period where the laptops had pictures of the President on them? JDM and NDC are ALL talk no action. CHOP! CHOP! is all they are interested in. I hope they are not going to Kofi Kludjson for their TABLETS. Remember that guy with his ahwam launch of a made in Ghana TABLET about 2 years ago? THese NDC guys are unbelievable! Time they were shown the door.
Please guys allow him.I wonder what NDC could have said if Nana Addo has made this promise. But I think no one should attack him. Its a free world.
