Ghana Launches Teacher Training in Savannah Region to Expand Girls-in-ICT Programme
The initiative is expected to benefit 1,000 girls, giving them exposure to practical digital skills and fostering early interest in information and communication technology.
The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation has commenced a Training of Trainers (ToT) session under the National Girls-in-ICT Programme in Damongo, Savannah Region.
The programme, hosted at Damongo Senior High School, is equipping 100 selected teachers with skills in Scratch, a visual programming language designed to introduce learners to the basics of coding. Through this training, teachers are learning how to develop interactive stories, animations, and games, which they will in turn pass on to schoolgirls across the region.
The initiative is expected to benefit 1,000 girls, giving them exposure to practical digital skills and fostering early interest in information and communication technology. By empowering teachers first, the programme aims to build a sustainable knowledge-transfer model that will expand digital literacy and support Ghana’s broader digital inclusion agenda.
