  1. Please x private school part if no AAA den how can we also get some pls

    1. only teachers who receives
      their salaries from the controller and accountant general department

  2. I personally don’t trust this information circulating on the internet because , I even learnt a date was set for the distribution somewhere in may and up to-date the laptops have not reached the teachers.I think this one the political talks by politicians.They are not serious on anything about teachers…Teachers open your eyes and minds….

  3. Why not corei5 if not corei7 with 8GB ram?
    In fact am not happy when it comes to the laptop specs

  4. The laptops have been purchased already.
    Let’s have them as early as possible.
    Since the information got to us, personally, I wanted to buy a new laptop but waiting for the arrival of the new one.
    The earlier it comes to us, the better.

  5. Waat! I am also disappointed. Even my tab s6 and phone both run on 6GB RAM, and they do very much for me. Infact,
    I prepare my lesson notes with diagrams on my tablet which in 2019, cost more than 3x the price of the goverment laptops. What is a Core i3 laptop? Are we serious? What is this? I believe in paying for quality and long-lasting equipment. I am therefore very very much disappointed.

  6. I suggest the brand and about of the computers to be given to teachers be made public. So that we will be able to know whether it’s durable and merits the said cost. This will help eliminate teacher exploitation and increase value for money. Teacher exploitation has a lot of nagetive consequences on our education, resulting in the low performance we are experiencing. When teachers feel cheated, you can design the best of curriculum and pedagogical approaches, yet the desired outcome will not be achieved.

  7. I am disappointed in the unions on this one. How do you tell me they are LOWER TIERED PROCESSORS with a 4-GB RAM and still tell me the laptops “are ok by today’s standards”? How about “tomorrow”? You went in for a laptop that performs just the basic functions and …….
    In as much as we commend the three unions and the government for this initiative, I think the parties involved in the negotiation could have given teachers a better deal.
    If a government wants to implement “a digitization policy, must the teacher necessarily be made to bear part of the associated cost? Ok, if we are to pay a percentage of it, could they have given teachers a choice so those who would opt for higher specs would be made to pay a percentage of that? How about those who may not want to take it because they have better ones?

  8. MPs give out HP in their constituencies . What is Itel. Respect for teachers is always low. What happened to Samsung, Dell Toshiba etc. Give us a break. We were given RLG till tomorrow mine is still off. Fire burn all teacher unions . Which teacher union uses Itel even at front desk?

  9. Ok,, that’s nice… I don’t know how the distribution will take, but I will leave my email address down,,if anything, they can contact me…. I am highly interested…

  10. Please is National Service Personnel Part of the distribution of the laptops

  11. Starting from the top, the i3 has the same amount of cores as the Celeron- two- but has a higher clock speed: 1.8GHz against the 1.1GHz of the Celeron. … Furthermore, the i3 offers 3MB of L3 cache, while the Celeron provides only 2MB. And, to top everything off, the i3 does all this at the same power cost as the Celeron

  12. What is the mode of application for the teacher-laptops?
    When is the distribution ging to start?

  13. Government should do upgrading for Diploma teachers before deducting the laptop money

  14. I want leadership to Change the Caption to Government Affordable Laptops for Teachers because we are paying 30% of the cost so, it is made affordable not free. In fact, anything for distribution is free not cost shared.

  15. Please those of us who are doing national service, are we part?. I mean the student teacher’s.

  16. We thank GES and the NPP government under the leadership of Nana Addo for such a policy.
