The government has announced plans to begin distributing free tablets to Senior High School (SHS) students on Monday, March 25, 2024.

According to the Executive Director of the Centre for National Distance Learning and Open Schooling, Nana Gyamfi Adwabour, this is part of the Ghana Smart Schools Project.

The project, he said, is to provide teaching and learning management systems, digital learning content and electronic devices to all senior high and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools nationwide.

Speaking on JoyNews on March 22, he said all 503 public SHS and TVET institutions would benefit from the project.

He clarified that the distribution would occur in phases, with each phase covering 30 schools until all schools are beneficiaries. He mentioned that this process would take more than a year to complete.
