The acting Director for Education in the Oti Region, Nana Kugbeadzor Bakatai II, has called on teachers to be more innovative in their approach to teaching in their various schools.

This is to improve the quality of education delivery in the region.

Nana Bakatai II made the remarks at a brief ceremony to launch the distribution of the Teachers Mate (TM1) laptops to Junior High School teachers in the region.

“The laptops are expected to be used by the teachers to improve their research work towards lesson planning and delivery in our schools,” she said.

The Oti Region has received 2,186 laptops. According to reports, a total of 2,249 laptops were to be provided.

The disparity in the figure, the acting Regional Director said was as a result of errors in data provided by some districts that could not be verified as of the time of distribution.

Meanwhile, Nana Kugbeadzor Bakatai II has urged that the laptops be distributed to the right beneficiaries.

“We don’t want any impersonation; nobody should sigh for or on behalf of any teacher. There should be enough evidence of every school and every teacher receiving their laptops,” she stressed.

The acting Director further encouraged teachers to inculcate the habit of maintenance to ensure the laptops last for a longer period of time.

“I believe the teachers would also utilize the laptops and maintain them properly, because, anything, no matter how strong they are if you don’t take good care of them, they won’t last.”
