In a remarkable act of generosity, Texas Instruments Education, a German-based company, has presented 100 electronic hand-held TI 84 CE calculators worth GHS 100,000 to the Department of Maths and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Education.
The gesture is to help enhance the teaching and learning of ICT in the Department.
The Director of Texas Instruments Education, Mr. Stephan Griebel, speaking via Zoom, said the donation aligns with the firm’s commitment to advancing ICT education in tertiary institutions.
He pledged to strengthen and foster an even more robust relationship with the Department.
Mr. Griebel noted that such partnerships were crucial for equipping the next generation with the skills and resources necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
The Provost of the College of Education Studies, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, on receiving the calculators, said the donation from Texas Instrument Education had come at a time when many students need high-powered calculators to aid their learning.

"We hope our friendship with Texas Instrument Education will grow even to other areas of learning instruments that will help us to deliver 21st-century skills," he continued.
The Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology Education, Prof. Douglas D. Agyei, in a remark, thanked the donor for the gesture and appealed for more assistance.
He announced that the faculty had introduced a programme in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for pre-service teachers in ICT education and the calculators would be of immense help to them.
