President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Monday, launched the "one student, one tablet" initiative under the Ghana Smart School Project.

Speaking at the launch which was held at the Accra International Conference Center, President Akufo-Addo said "Providing tablets to our SHS students will open doors to endless opportunities. That is one student, and one tablet under the Ghana Smart Schools Project. The tablets are fitted with digital content to aid research, teaching, and learning"

The Ghana Smart School Project aims to distribute 1.3 million educational tablets to SHS students nationwide.

The tablet among other things, will allow students to avoid carrying heavy books to school every day because the tablets are preloaded with all essential textbooks and learning materials.

Samuel Ayeh Paye, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayensuano constituency, has meanwhile, shot down rumors that the preloaded textbooks are from foreign publishers.
