Telecom brand of the year, Vodafone Ghana, in partnership with WhizzKids SuccessMaker, a computer-based Maths and English company, has opened an e-learning centre at the Vodafone internet cafe at Cantonment.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency said the facility would engage children aged five to 14 years to receive Maths and English Tuition that was expected to accomplish a year’s progress in just six months on average following students’ initial assessment.
“The collaboration between Vodafone Ghana and WhizzKids Successmaker will deliver technology-based, high quality primary education that provides the skills and knowledge students need to succeed in a rapidly globalising world.”
It said the courses on offer are aligned to the Ghanaian, British and American curricula, a one of a kind initiative in the country that will benefit students immensely.
The statement further said WhizzKids SuccessMaker has selected an award winning educational software as a key teaching tool which is a broad, adaptive curriculum mapped closely to the national curriculum.
“This allows the WhizzKids staff to teach the targeted age group in the most effective way possible; the course structure also allows for maximum teacher-student interaction.”
According to Carmen Bruce-Annan, Head of Corporate Affairs at Vodafone Ghana, “This initiative is another demonstration of our ultimate aim of empowering Ghanaians to reach their potential.
“Vodafone aims to provide cutting edge technology to Ghanaians and Ghanaian children are very much a part of this endeavour. The combination of technology and education is a remarkable one and has been shown to enhance the learning abilities of children and youth worldwide.”
Mr Kwame Agyemang, Business Development Manager at WhizzKids Successmaker remarked: "This is a great example of how WhizzKids SuccessMaker integrates technology to provide the best solutions in primary education to our students.
In this case, our expertise in digital education and Vodafone’s advanced internet connectivity made us the right choice for this fun e-Learning centre for children."
