Drop The One Student One Laptop Policy And Build Hostels - AKIOLA AZIZ appeals to University Management.


The Prospective Communications Team Member of the Oppossition National Democratic Congress, Greater Accra Region and a student of the Premier University of Ghana, Aki-Ola Aziz had suggested to the Vice-Chancellor of the University Of Ghana to invest the money to purchase laptops for each student dubbed, "Operation 1 Student 1 Laptop to build halls of residence and hostels on campus. 

He opined that investing in the construction of halls and hostels will yield more dividends for the institution because entirely every student owns an electronic gadget be it a laptop, tablet, iPad or mobile phone. He considers the halls as a priority that should not be sacrificed for laptops. 

The Vice-Chancellor, during her swearing-in ceremony, borrowed this from the government which suggested procuring Laptops for tertiary students which is yet to see its implementation. 

The students have not received their share of the laptops as 350,000 basic school teachers are battling with theirs. 

The controversies generated by the procured laptops cannot be underestimated. Majority of those teachers concerned had condemned and descrinbed the Laptops as inferior and not up to standard. They had also sensed procurement breaches, and acussed the government of Ghana, GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT as the architect behind this dubious or shady deal.

"I urge the Vice Chancellor and the University Council to consider building hostels and not buying laptops in the short term",  He urged.

SARBANDANLS RESIDENTIAL BROUHAHA A LITMUS TEST ON BOAKYE-LINCOLN ADMINISTRATION

The recent publication by the University of Ghana Management about the transfer of Male continuing students of the two noble traditional halls; Mensh Sarbah and Common Wealth Halls from their legal accommodations or beds is an experiment on the fresh administration of the University of Ghana Students' Representative Council.
