Teachers in poor areas are always being asked to do more with less.They're given smaller budgets and larger tasks in schools that employ fewer teachers and take in more students.But none of these struggles can quite compare to the challenges faced by a computing teacher Akoto in Ghana who teaches his students how to use computers.
Akoto recently posted photos of his classroom,and they've gotten quite a response.Akoto is an information and communication technology(ICT)teacher who has been assigned to teach his students without using an actual computer.So like any good teacher,Akoto teaches them by drawing pictures of a computer on the blackboard.
Akoto recently shared images of one of his computer lessons,in which he can be seen using multi colored chalk to draw the features of Microsoft Word software on the blackboard.In one of the photos,you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks.
One might ask,"Why do they bother to take such a challenging course?" But here's the reason:Even though the students at Akoto's school don't have computers,they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before they move on to high school.
So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material.He has drawn pictures many times for his students over his six years and just happened to share the pictures this time on Facebook.He says he has his own personal laptop,but it is different from the one Akoto is required to teach.He doesn't bring it to class for fear of confusing the kids with a computer that they have never seen.
The good news is that those Facebook pictures made their way to the right place,Microsoft Africa promised to give him some proper resources.Others also stepped up to the plate and helped out Akoto.NIIT Ghana,an information technology training institution,donated five computers to Akoto's school and one for Akoto himself.A PhD student at the University of Leeds in the U.K.inspired by Akoto also donated a computer.

(4)What can we conclude from the last paragraph? CC
