1 Laptop 1 Modem per Teacher Policy , will it affect PDA (Allowance)?-GNAT

The Ghana National Association of Teachers in 2020 advocated for one Laptop one modem per teacher, to enhance learning.

This policy was pushed and together with the other teacher unions and GES, the Teacher Laptop initiative was passed with a lot of controversies. Some Teachers are yet to receive their Laptops.

Teachers didn’t know  the Laptop initiative was a target on their Professional Development allowance, but took it in good fate.

A very good initiative accepted by all until the deductions hit their allowance.

For some of us the laptop has still been helpful, that is what I download my science lesson videos for class with; which makes lesson very interesting. Typing this document too, it’s by the help of TM1.

The laptop has some issues, The volume can go off completely for days and come back when it’s happy.

The Wi-Fi can also go missing for days but the battery is that strong. I will also recommend they change the position of the power button since pressing the backspace key can touch that side to switch off the machine.

Now back to the package.

The package that was spoken off was a laptop and a modem, how do we connect to the internet? where are the modems and why was the modem not part of the earlier agreement or it has just been sidelined.

Should the teacher Unions bring the modem policy on board, will it be against allawa? or it’s part of the earlier deal.

Here is the report filed by 3news in 2020
