adminpornographic materials and even destructive relationships.
“Our children are our most valuable assets but vulnerable members of our society, hence protecting them against the misuse of the Internet should be our utmost priority,” Mr Ampofo stated.
“Today, the Internet and mobile phones have become more enemies than friends to our children.” He told students at the 20th anniversary and speech and prize-giving day of the Akim Asafo Senior High School in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The minister said while the use of the Internet opened endless access to useful educative material and information, its abuse presented a phenomenal risk to the development of pupils and students in the country.
He, therefore, appealed to parents and school authorities to exercise maximum control over the use of such technologies by students and pupils to ensure their
productive use. On education, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo said, the government had invested huge resources in providing school buildings in a bid to make quality education
more accessible to all Ghanaian children.
“Today, the Eastern Region and other regions across the country have seen unprecedented infrastructure development in both rural and urban areas,” he stated. — CAJ News.
