Students in Senior High Schools will soon have the green light to use mobile phones on their campuses.
The Communications Ministry is in talks with the Education Ministry to lift the ban on the use of mobile phones in such schools.
The move will also ensure that students use mobile phones and other technological devices as learning aids.
Communications Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful dropped the hint at the National Dialogue on digital transformation.
“We are currently having discussions with the Ministry of education on the opportunities being given to students to use mobile devices but not just to use them for fun in school but to have curricula loaded unto the devices so that they use as learning aids and not fun tools.
“I think we need to be able to regulate the use of mobile devices, instead of carrying books, all they need is one device that has all they need on it and make sure that they use it to learn,” she said.
