To enhance the digital literacy of its students, the school established a Computerlab with RecellGhana Computerlabs on 16th November, 2022. RecellGhana Computerlabs is a social enterprise that aims to bridge the digital divide in Ghana by providing high-quality computers, internet, and maintenance services at an affordable price. The Computerlabs are designed to support the teaching and learning of the National ICT Curriculum, which covers topics such as word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, email, and internet.
The Computerlab at Jay’s International School is equipped with 21 desktop stations, a server with UPS, and a high-speed internet connection. The Computerlab is primarily used for teaching the Ghana National ICT curriculum, which is mandatory for all students from primary to junior high school. The curriculum aims to equip students with basic digital skills and prepare them for the electives on databases and coding at the senior high school level.
The school has dedicated ICT teachers, Prince Dickson and Raymond Sasu, who use the Computerlab to conduct practical lessons and assessments for the students. The teachers also use the internet to access online resources and platforms that enhance the learning experience. The students are able to practice and apply what they learn in the classroom using the computers and the internet. The students also enjoy using the Computerlab for extracurricular activities such as playing educational games, browsing the web, and creating their own projects.
The impact of the Computerlab on the students’ academic performance and motivation has been positively remarkable. Both the school administration and the parents are extremely satisfied with the results. The school’s report shows a significant improvement in the students’ ICT grades and overall performance. Parents have also observed a notable change in their children’s attitude and interest in learning. The school is committed to continuing the use of the Computerlab to achieve its vision of producing well-rounded and digitally literate students who can confidently compete in the global market.
RecellGhana Computerlabs is proud to partner with Jay’s International School and other schools in Ghana to provide them with the best facility they need for their students to become computer savvy. We believe our solution for digital literacy in these schools can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualized options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace in the near future.
