The Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations announced on September 17 that the Training of Trainers component of the National Girls-in-ICT Program has commenced at Damongo Senior High School in the Savannah Region, Ghana. The program is equipping 100 selected teachers with hands-on knowledge of Scratch, a visual programming language that introduces beginners to the fundamentals of coding.

Through the training, teachers are learning how to develop interactive stories, animations, and games, which they will in turn pass on to 1,000 schoolgirls across the region.

The National Girls-in-ICT Program is a flagship initiative of the Ministry, implemented in partnership with local stakeholders.
