A teacher in Ghana who educates his students on computer technology, without any computers, has became popular on social media. Richard Appiah Akotos school had no computers since 2011, but that did not stop him from teaching his students at Betenase M-A Junior High School in Sekyedomase town on how to use basic computer programmes like Microsoft Word.
NewEdge Infotech Ghana (NIIT Ghana) noticed the same and decided to donate a laptop for Akoto and five desktop computers to the school along with books on various topics on ICT.
On March 12, NIIT business head Yaw Amoateng and senior manager Sanjeev Mishra travelled to Sekyedomase to meet Akoto and his students and donate the computers. The company has gained recognition on media channels across local & international news including CNN.
This donation was part of NIIT Ghana’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) outreach. The firm recently trained some 100 economically disadvantaged people in collaboration with the European Union and Actionaid.
