Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, the school’s Vice-Chancellor, hopes that the project will provide students with the necessary abilities to compete with their peers in the digital age.
“I’m going to commit to delivering and supporting, at least initially, this One Student-One Laptop project with 100 computers for the pupils,” the Vice President said at the meeting.
