Social media reacts to Dr Bawumia’s ‘One student, One laptop’ promise
On May 27, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia unveiled a plan to give senior high school students laptops, which would essentially replace traditional textbooks.
On social media, individuals have been responding to this ambitious idea with a flurry of excitement, skepticism, and worries about its implementation and its effects on kids.
He made this statement at the Hohoe Evangelical Presbyterian Senior High School’s 60th anniversary celebration.
The potential advantages of providing pupils with laptops are emphasized by the plan’s proponents, who also stress the significance of technology literacy in the digital age.
However, other social media users are persuaded of the viability or effectiveness of the idea. The potential expense of implementation worries skeptics, especially in a nation with scarce resources.
They argue that funds could be better allocated to other pressing educational needs, such as improving infrastructure or providing teacher training.
