An appeal has gone to communities, civil society organizations, and non-government organizations to do more to supplement government's efforts in promoting Information Communication Technology (ICT) education.
Mr. Samuel Ansah, Director, Teacher Education Division, Ghana Education Service (GES), said the deployment of ICT in schools was a capital intensive project that required "all hands on deck".
"Indeed no government, not even in developed economies across the globe has been able to single-handedly, provide ICT logistics to all its educational institutions", he added.
Mr Ansah was speaking at the inauguration of a GH¢250,000.00 library built for the Asanso Community in the Asante-Bekwai Municipality by Mr Kwabena Appiah, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Modex Oil Company.
The ceremony was also used to raise funds towards a computer centre project, started by the benefactor.
Mr Joe Osei Owusu, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bekwai, underlined the importance of education to the progress of the individual, community and the nation and that was why it should be given every needed attention.
He pledged to continue working hard to create the right environment for effective teaching and learning in the area.
Mr Appiah, a native of the town, said part of the funds for the project, was from donations he received during his late mother's funeral, last year.
Nana Anor Brafo, chief of the area, said they were grateful to Mr Appiah for his tremendous assistance towards the development of education in the community.
He has over the years been providing scholarships to brilliant but needy students as well as incentive packages to motivate teachers posted there.
The chief advised the school children to take advantage of the facility to improve on their academic performance.
Dr K. K. Sarpong, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, urged the teachers and pupils to take good care of the library.
