I am called James Yambor.
The principal of the Presbyterian Nurses Training College
based in Bawku, in the Upper East Region of Ghana
The Presby Nurses Training College has a plan
to establish an Information Communication technology Centre
to enhance teaching and learning of computer studies
and other courses in the college
There is also another phase in the plan
to get internet connectivity for the college
so that students can get access to information
from the internet
This will go a long way to improve
their studies and performance
and exams
Phase 3 of the plan
to get all the computers networked
including those in the computer lab
and in the tutors offices
we are also in the process of
linking up with the Christian Health Association of Ghana
who are working hand in hand with other NGO's
to see how best they could help
in the establishment of the ICT centre in bawku
Bawku in particularly has been in the news
for insecurity reasons
but for us today we are proud to say
with the return of peace we are more than prepared
to receive the support that is coming through CHAG
and through the ministry of Health
We believe that it will go a long way to help us
contribute our quarter in the production of
quality nurses to feed the health service
delivery systems in Ghana
I am Albert Asugri
a tutor at the Nurse training College Bawku here
I teach subjects like sociology, Psychology and Medicine
The ICT programme we are all looking for
will help us. Because as you can see
the school is lacking behind in terms of research
giving out information to our partners outside
There are so many ideas. We still doing the college that we did.
We have to travel to deliver reports
and to take information from others.
And in the library you can see the chunk of papers piled up
there is no software for the storage of information
They packing them outside as hard copy
So this programme will help us to achieve
if it comes to be here
so you can see yourself that things are happening
