LAPTOP TEACHER GES

EducationGhana | November 22 | TM 1 Laptop:  Two Teacher Unions, Innovative Teachers and All Teachers Alliance Ghana (ATAG) have indicated that there is a contradiction between the exact number of Laptops being distributed to teachers.

The Teacher Unions in a press conference on November 15, 2021, indicated that there was an obvious contradiction between the number of laptops to be distributed to the teachers in the pre-tertiary schools.

The Unions indicated, that the President quoted 280,000 laptops and the Vice-President quoted 350,000 laptops, making it very difficult to know the exact number of teachers being given the laptops.

”How can one contract has different figures?” They asked.

”The price of the laptops keeps changing like a chameleon. With reference to the GES Press Release dated 9th September 2021 the price of the laptop was 1,831 cedis and its 30% was 549 cedis.”

”GES letter dated 26th October quoted 509 cedis as the price for the 30% component. What was the actual amount negotiated before K. A TECHNOLOGIES started executing the contract?” They asked.

According to the teacher, unions,  Teachers prefer Dell, Lenovo, Apple, Toshiba, Acer, Samsung and the other known brands just like Parliamentarians love TOYOTA V8 cars because what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

”Teachers feel insulted that the Ministry of Education does not think highly of the same that is why it preferred a local company with no track record in manufacturing laptops for the second time after the RLG debacle.” They said.

 

RLG Experience

The Tacher Unions indicated, that The defunct RLG distributed laptops to selected schools and teachers in Ghana. Since the laptops were substandard almost all of them broke down within a short time.

”One would have thought that the Ministry of Education ought to have learnt lessons from the RLG fiasco and not repeat same with K.A TECHNOLOGIES GHANA LIMITED.”

”It has become obvious that the Ministry of Education will continuously insult teachers with laptops of suspicious quality which break down within a short time resulting in a huge financial loss to the state.” They said.
