He shared that it is difficult for the students to grasp the concept of the subject being thought given its practical nature.

The part-time Uber driver added that ICT teachers in the school have had to resort to using pictures on their phones as resource materials to teach which is not the best.

He therefore entreated all to help in anyway possible to provide quality education for the students.

I met an Uber driver who doubles as an ICT Teacher in Bepoa Salvation Army JHS in Asante Mampong who shared this with me. A computer set costs between 300-400, if you’d like to contribute to help them out send me a dm, let’s help these kids

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a picture posted on social media showed a teacher painstakingly recreating and labelling the layout of Microsoft Word on a blackboard using only coloured chalk.

This was due to a lack of facilities in the school to provide the pupils with the necessary equipment to conduct the lesson.With teachers in other countries complaining that they cannot teach without books, this teacher goes to show that where there is a will, there is a way.

33-year-old teacher Richard Appiah Akoto is the information and communication technology teacher at Betenase M/A Junior High School in the town of Sekyedomase, Ghana.
