A teacher has shared a rather hilarious video of the TM1 laptop he received from the mass distribution exercise that was undertaken by the government of Ghana.

The footage that was made public by Teacher Kwadwo, a social media influencer who is also a teacher by profession, showed how difficult it was for the laptop to boot.

All that was displayed was a blank coloration on the screen as the teacher who was behind the camera complained about the poor state of the device.

According to the official website Ghana Education Service (GES) the TM1 is a world-class laptop built to inspire learning and superior performance.

The TM1 was said to be provisioned with a custom-built desktop application that delivers electronic learning and teaching contents presented in a user-friendly electronic format.

This was supposed to make learning fun and enable equitable access to teaching resources needed by teachers in rural and urban areas.
