Madam Comfort Akua Attah, the District Chief Executive of Biakoye said the Yamoransa Model Labs was an initiative by the Helping Africa Foundation (HAF) and Friend of Yamoransa (FYF) as part of educational reforms to enhance effective teaching and learning in the area of Technology.

She said technology has made the world a global village and that the Yamoransa Model Lab in the Biakoye District was the one of it's kind in the Oti Region to drive home that awareness.

Madam Attah made the revelation at the inauguration of the Yamoransa Model Lab 7 at Nkonya Ahenkro in the Oti Region.

She said many schools presently in Ghana were yet to be furnished with ICT Laboratories, although it was being taught as a core subject.

Madam Attah said the project was timely to enhance the knowledge and skills of the pupils and students in the District and thus embraced it wholeheartedly. 

She urged the youth of the beneficiary communities to take advantage of the ICT Lab to change their mindsets about Information Technology which has been a preserve of some portions of our society.

The DCE said it was her dream to see majority of the girls taking the initiative very seriously to cut down the teenage pregnancy menace in the District that has always prohibited the girl child to climb the educational ladder and progressing to the top. 
     
Mr. Japhet Aryiku, Executive Director of HAF said it was important to emphasize that education was the bedrock of every country's human resource, especially girl child education.
     
He, therefore, cautioned girls in the area not to engage in premarital sex that promotes teenage pregnancy and school dropouts.
