Key Points
- The UNIWIZ Foundation emphasizes that providing ICT centers to schools is ineffective without equipping teachers with the necessary digital skills.
- The foundation has launched an Advanced Digital Skills Training program for Ghana Education Service (GES) ICT coordinators, commencing in the Greater Accra Region.
- This training initiative, supported by the Embassy of Switzerland, aims to strengthen educators' capacity to deliver effective digital learning, complementing the foundation's efforts in constructing ICT centers.
- The Greater Accra program is the second edition, with plans to expand the training to other regions across Ghana, including Ashanti and Eastern, in collaboration with GES.
- UNIWIZ Foundation, known for its National Juniors Challenge, also constructs ICT centers nationwide to address identified infrastructure gaps and promote hands-on digital literacy for students.
Why This Matters

By empowering teachers, Ghana can ensure that investments in ICT facilities translate into meaningful digital literacy for students, fostering a more skilled future workforce and supporting national development goals in an increasingly technology-driven world.
