The government, in a quest to enhance education delivery through information technology, launched the One Teacher One Laptop programme to highlight the importance of information and communication (ICT)-mediated Teacher Professional Development (TPD).

The Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, launched the initiative in September 2021 under an aggressive programme to strategically influence teaching and learning outcomes in pre-tertiary educational institutions nationwide.

Under the programme, all teachers in the public school from kindergarten to the senior high school are to receive a laptop computer each to aid them in teaching, lesson preparation, research and learning.

The government will pay 70 per cent of the cost of the laptop, while each teacher pays the remaining 30 per cent.
