Students of Ejisuman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region now have a modern facility to enhance Information and Communication Technology education.
It follows refurbishment of the Ghana-China Association ICT Center and subsequent supply of 50 brand new computers by the Chinese government.

Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Sun Boahong, and Ghana’s Trade Minister, Allan Kyerematen, have inaugurated the renovated centre.
Madam Boahong says the Chinese Embassy has built 11 ICT centres for students in eight regions of Ghana.
