At the centre should be unlimited and increased access to Information Communication Technology (ICT) so that "geographical distance is no longer an obstacle to obtaining an education."
Mr Raphael Quarshie, Volta Regional Manager of the Roman Catholic (RC) Education Unit, made the observation at the speech and prize giving day of the Tanyigbe Atidzie (RC) Primary and Municipal Assembly Junior High Schools, at the weekend.
"With today's technology, one even has the ability to access experts, professionals and leaders in the field around the world at any given time."
Mr Quarshie therefore advised the pupils to be disciplined, and focused if they wanted to achieve academic excellence.
Mr Isaac Kodobisah, Ho Municipal Chief Executive in a speech read on his behalf, advised the Tanyigbe Atidzie community to develop the beautiful eco-tourism attraction in the area to attract tourists to the area.
He said this would create wealth and jobs for the youth and prevent them from seeking employment in the already choked urban centres.
Mr Kenneth Addae, Headteacher of the school, appealed to the government to include the school in the distribution of free school uniforms and the school feeding programme.
He commended Associates for Sustainable Development, Ghana, a Non-Governmental Organisation for offering a scholarship to a class five pupil of the school up to the Senior Secondary School level.
Togbe Albert Anku Abiwu, regent of the town, commended the efforts of the staff and said the community would continue to play its collaborative
role to improve conditions in the school.
Captain George Nfodjo (rtd), Member of Parliament for the area, donated four computers to the school.
An amount of 1,090.00 Ghana cedis was raised at the function towards building a computer laboratory.
