Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called on guardians to aid their wards to positively explore technology and offer guidance to minimise threats posed by the use of emerging technologies.

Speaking in Anyirawase, in the Ho West District of the Volta Region on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, he noted that technology, though an important training tool, threatens the moral upbringing of the children.

Bagbin said that the use of technology in education threatens the country's future, and hence, stakeholders must be proactive in managing the use of technological tools for education and other purposes.

He also urged parents to take a keen interest in their children's educational needs and provide them with the necessary guidance as they traverse their formative years in this technological era.

“We must not allow technology to destroy the future of our children but assist them to become a better version of themselves,” he stressed.

According to a myjoyonline.com report on Thursday March 5, 2026, Bagbin during the visit cut sod for the construction of an 8-unit classroom block for Anyirawase EP Primary to enhance access to education in the area, promising the structure will be ready by the end of 2026.

The Awudome Traditional Authorities lauded Bagbin's interest in the development and called for further support to strengthen the chieftaincy institution in the area.
