What did KA technologies say?

In a statement, the company said it had successfully completed the nationwide supply, training and distribution of the laptops to qualified teachers.

The company also announced that there are some service centres called Aftercare Centers to help the teachers.

“Our user-friendly Katcare App allows the booking of repair services and the purchase of Laptop accessories.”

KA Technologies also expressed gratitude to the teacher unions and other stakeholders.

The One Teacher-One Laptop policy was launched by the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in September 2021 as a strategic way to influence teaching and learning outcomes in primary and secondary schools nationwide.

Beneficiaries are expected to use the laptops to prepare teaching lessons, research, and learning.
