In one breadth students have no right to keep long hair; they must cut it low. In another, students must be given the freedom to practice their religion in whichever setting they find themselves. Now it is not the right of students to watch porn. What if they're 18+? What next?

The computers can be programmed and restricted by the School System such that they cannot be used for Pornographic purposes. I have taught at High Schools and Junior College levels. Computers given to students have got a lot of restrictions. Not every site can be accessed by students. Even those given to Teachers have got restrictions. Just try to use it on restricted sites and you shall be warned about that. Continue trying again and your computer will be shut down and can’t be used again. You will be blocked and it is the school that can unblock it. Try it at unauthorized sites and you can’t use the computer assigned to you again. Such students will have to use their own personal computers for all assignments. Uncle Sam is very strict about sites that school computers can access. When a Student’s Computer is blocked, that student will have to use his personal Computer and Password to work on their assignments. Note that the School system is programmed such that many sites cannot be reached. This has been done to prevent students from entering into sites where incendiary activities can be done. The GES should do the same to computers given by Schools to students.
Computers can be used to even make Bombs. So, if a student tries to reach certain limited sites by even using their own Computers, the National Security is immediately notified and the student can be in hot waters.

Kids are curious by nature. It is the adults who are dumb. In a serious country all sites deemed inappropriate for kids are blocked from public computers.

Frankie, they can be of any age but if the sites students want to reach are restricted, then, so be it. A student can be even over 25 years but should not be permitted to use School computers to learn how to make Bombs. The Developed countries don’t allow that. If a student tries to go around the system, the student can be blocked, reported to the National Security and shall be monitored for their activities on everything they do on the Computers.

Sorry. Our Housemasters and Mistresses may not be computer savvy as the students. I have a son who is so much savvy in computers that I try to change my Password anytime I use my Laptop. Sometimes I mix the English, Akan, And Anlo Ewe alphabets numerals to make my Passwords. Never underestimate the capabilities of even your own children when it comes to Computers. Many of us were born before the Typewriter became common. Yor own children can secretly hide video Cameras to find your Computer Passwords.
Try to change your Passwords very often and make sure that you cover your typing area so that your Password area so that your own children don’t videotape you. Our children have become very adventurous and we must always try to be a step ahead of them when it comes to our Passwords.

Mobile Phones have limitations by age and purpose. Just try to go ahead and try to visit some sites and you can be blocked forever. Democracy is good but it has its limitations.

You have not seen anything yet. Didn't you forsee this before giving them the tablets? You copy the whites so blindly. What is wrong with learning without a tablet? Did the doctors, professors etc we have in the country use tablet to learn? You yourself never new what was a tablet when you were in secondary school. Just imposing some useless policies on teachers and forcing them to implement them
You had better scrap this shambolic new curriculum for teachers to rest

A rather unfortunate development. These students must know that the devices are meant for academic purposes.. Students of Achimota SHS were not given the tablets to bring home an serious issue that must be addressed. The headmaster Mr. Graham refused to give the tablets to the students who have been at home for two months going. Honourable Minister Haruna Iddrissu, I want you to summon Mr. Graham to your office to explain his unpardonable actions. Let's all of us assist the government but not derail its laudable efforts.

What does he want parliament to do?Harina Iddrisu is gradually showing his incompetence in running that big ministry and the earlier he is sacked from there the better. He is also creating confusion with his utterances on muslims in christian mission school.
