Abakrampa visits us

Abakrampa Senior High School, one of the the outstanding senior high schools in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese District, has been making good use of our facility.

This school almost visit the CIC twice in a term for internet orientation and basic computer tutorials.

Free Computer Literacy Trainng for Basic Schools in the Community

The Abura Dunkwa Community Information Centre has now added to its services, basic computer training for all basic schools in the community. This is inline with the introduction of ICT as core subject in the basic level of education.

The centre has identifed the need to intervene and help these schools since there ae currently no computers in these basic schools in the community but will be sitting for ICT in the final exams.

The Community Information centre will allow those schools use the centre as their computer laboratory to do practicals on what have been taught in classroom and we think this could help help the children have better understanding about what is taught.

ICT has been identified as a tool for development and the Community Information Centre being the hub for community will do all takes to make the community benefit from it.
