GES to make IT examinable subject in Schools

The Ghana Education Service would soon make Information Technology (IT) an examinable subject at the Senior Secondary School (SSS) level.

The officer in-charge of the Education, Management and Information System (EMIS) of the GES, Rev Vincent L. Yensu, said this at the first graduation of Microtech Computer System School in Sekondi on Monday.

He appealed to organisations and individuals to provide more equipment to schools and colleges to improve the standard of teaching and learning of computers. Yensu called on private institutions to operate within Ministry of Education's guidelines and avoid the tendency to make maximum profit.

He said the nation should give children of school going age education that would equip them to face the challenges and make them marketable. The Headmaster of the school, Joe Mensah, said 32 students passed in the various levels of skills in computer studies. He said the school intended to expand its services and appealed for land to enable the school to expand.
