Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, a member of parliament representing Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam, has questioned the vice president’s idea to provide free tablets to all senior high school students. Read here

According to him, this is a misguided focus because certain kids in the nation—particularly those in the North East Region—do not have tables to sit on in their classrooms, despite the promise of tablets.

All senior high school (SHS) pupils will receive free computers this year, according to a pledge made by Dr. Bawumia.

He claimed that these tables are covered in textbooks for their study.

He claimed that this was a game-changing development.

“This year, we are on course to provide all Senior High School students in Ghana with tablets that are loaded with textbooks on them for their studies.

“That’s a very game-changing development. We will have past questions preloaded on these tablets that will be distributed,” he said while speaking at this year’s New Year School at the University of Ghana, Legon on Tuesday, January 17.

Commenting on this in a tweet that was retweeted by Former President John Dramani Mahama, Dr Ato Forson said “Dr Bawumia, your frivolous promises are largely responsible for Ghana;’s bankruptcy! Basic schools in the North East Region don’t have tables and chairs yet you are promising 1 student 1 tablet! How will you fund this? Borrow more? Where lies your priorities Mr. Veep?”
