Online School For Educating Children In Ghana.

"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards."

Anatole France

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of person's character lies in their own hands."

Ann Frank.

Educating children in Ghana is difficult for the government since resources are scarce. With the price of gas (petrol) going through the roof, thus forcing the government to borrow money for its day to to day expenditure, it is very gratifying to know that Intel has launched an online school for Ghanaian children.

"The main features are: multimedia learning objects (LearnSteps), interactive simulations (LearnSims), an award-winning maths toolkit, exam centre study notes, exam guides for maths and integrated science as well as study and revision tips. Intel supports a 360° student-centred approach to education. school.com.gh aids students with curriculum-focused multi-media learning and research, offers open-ended learning tools to help students explore wider concepts, and provides valuable exam focused resources to help students prepare effectively for state exams."

This makes it imperative that all the schools have access to computers and the Internet. With these science tools, the children would be given the knowledge for the knowledge based economy. This access to a world class science education will propel the country closer to what it needs to fuel its economy to raise the standards of all Ghanaians.
