The Ministry of Education has donated 50 desktop computers to Tamale Technical University (TaTU) to enhance the institution’s efforts in technology-driven teaching, learning, and research.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony on behalf of the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, the representative, Abubakari Abdanllah Baba noted that the gesture fulfilled a promise the Minister made during his visit to the University about three months ago.
“During his last visit, the Minister pledged to support the University with computers and three boreholes, which have already been delivered. Today, we are here to present fifty new desktop computers to the institution,” the representative stated.
He emphasized that the Ministry remains committed to promoting technology integration in education, stressing that modern learning cannot thrive without access to digital tools.
“Teaching and learning can never be successful without the influence of technology, and we cannot talk of technology without computers,” he said, adding that the donation will help improve research and academic work at the university.
He further urged the University’s Management to ensure proper maintenance of the computers through the use of licensed software and reliable antivirus programs to guarantee their longevity.
The initiative forms part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to equip technical and tertiary institutions across the country with modern resources that foster digital literacy and enhance educational quality.
