The Gabeulah Network Foundation has called for increased support for rural schools to bridge the digital education gap and improve teaching and learning.
The Foundation says many schools in rural communities continue to face challenges accessing basic Information and Communication Technology tools, despite the growing importance of digital education.
It made the call when it donated a photocopy machine, projector and hundreds of reading books to the Frankadua D/A Junior High School in the Eastern Region.
As education increasingly relies on technology, access to digital learning tools remains a challenge for some schools in rural communities.
The Gabeulah Network Foundation believes addressing this gap is essential to improving the quality of education and creating equal learning opportunities for pupils.
Presenting the items, the Operations Manager of the Foundation, Mrs Salomey Appiah Adjei, said the donation forms part of efforts to promote digital education in underserved communities.
She said the absence of adequate ICT equipment in some rural schools continues to limit both teachers and students.
Mrs Adjei said the projector and photocopy machine would improve classroom teaching and support the preparation of learning materials.
The Founder of the Foundation, Reverend Gabline Awurama Beulah, said the organisation remained committed to supporting quality education and healthcare through various community-based programmes.
She disclosed that the Foundation plans to provide more rural schools with computers, printers, projectors and tablets to enhance digital learning.
Receiving the items, the Headmaster of the Frankadua D/A JHS, Mr Harrison Mompi, said the donation would address some of the school’s teaching and administrative challenges.
He said the photocopy machine would support the preparation of worksheets, assessments and assignments, while the projector would enhance visual learning and reduce reliance on the chalkboard.
Mr Mompi expressed gratitude to the Foundation for supporting the school.
