One Teacher, One Laptop - Why Teachers Must Embrace the Digitization Project
Introduction
The provision of education has moved beyond the traditional classroom face-to-face session to online learning (synchronous or asynchronous) in several developed countries. As Ghana could not, over the years, move with the digital tide, the ravaging effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on education has left us with no option than to, with open arms, embrace online teaching and learning.
It is as a result of enhancing online learning and the massive pursuance of the digitalization agenda that the government of Ghana have agreed to supply all teachers at the pre tertiary education levels with laptop computers to enhance teaching and learning. Having been inundated with rumours on various social media platforms on the distribution of laptops to pre tertiary teachers, the air has finally been cleared by the Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwa.

In an effort to alleviate their teachers’ workloads and minds, LISD and UISD have worked to find multiple ways to help their frontline workers.
At LISD, teachers rejoiced when they heard that their board of trustees will start a rotation schedule for all LISD employees, not just teachers. Each rotation will last three weeks, and teachers will not serve more than 10 students at a time.
The news came during a board meeting, where members of the Texas State Teacher Associations protested and demanded outside for the schedule changes. Moving forward through the next six weeks, the district will continue to adjust schedules for teachers, but the addition of a rotation schedule has already put many teachers already at ease.
