Government has dismissed media reports it intends to scrap the one laptop per child initiative introduced by the Kufuor administration. The Monday edition of The Statesman newspaper reported that the Education Ministry had issued a directive for the policy to be scrapped. But Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, told Joy FM’s Super Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah the report could not have been true. He said the Education Minister, Alex Tettey-Enyo last Friday met with the board of the one-child-one-computer project to discuss modalities of distribution of the computers. Mr. Okudzeto said the Education Ministry has already taken delivery of 1,000 pieces of laptops, adding that Mr. Tettey-Enyo and the board will be going to Rwanda to help that country to implement the policy. “It cannot be true that we are ending that project here while we seek to replicate it in another country,” Okudzeto stated.
