Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>More than 300 schoolchildren aged 10 to 13 have benefitted from the 2024 Digital Literacy and Skills Training for Children, an initiative by the South Korean Government in collaboration with the Ghana Internet Safety Foundation.<\/b><\/p>\n

Now in its sixth year, the annual programme continues to make a significant impact on digital literacy, with this year\u2019s edition held in Kumasi. The training featured the dynamic KIV team, codenamed \u201cREBORN,\u201d who facilitated engaging, skill-based sessions for participating students.<\/p>\n

A statement jointly issued by the organisers highlighted the programme\u2019s comprehensive curriculum, which covered innovative topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), scratch programming, and online safety, a critical area in today\u2019s digital age.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the features of this year\u2019s programme is the emphasis on hands-on learning,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It said students were not only introduced to theoretical AI concepts but also actively engaged in practical projects using Scratch, a visual programming language that fosters creativity and logical thinking.<\/p>\n

The online safety sessions were a key feature, equipping students with essential skills to navigate the digital landscape responsibly.<\/p>\n

It said the inclusion of hamster robots, provided through the generous support of the South Korean Government, was a highlight.<\/p>\n

These robots facilitated interactive STEM learning, allowing the children to apply their coding skills in real-time, enhancing their understanding and engagement.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gabriel Ofori Appiah, representing GISF, expressed gratitude to the South Korean Government for their continued support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative has been a notable change for our children, and the provision of hamster robots has enhanced the STEM development of the students, making learning both fun and educational.<\/p>\n

We are deeply grateful for this wonderful partnership, which continues to make a significant impact on the future of our youth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also noted that the programme\u2019s impact extended beyond the classroom, as students demonstrated newfound confidence in using digital tools and understanding online safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the digital landscape evolves, initiatives like this are vital in preparing the younger generation to harness technology for positive outcomes while safeguarding their digital wellbeing,\u201d Mr. Appiah added.<\/p>\n

Miss Ama Mensah, a 12-year-old from Kumasi, said, \u201cI have always wanted to learn how computers work, and now I can create my own games with Scratch. The online safety lessons taught me how to stay safe on the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Master Kwame Osei, a 13-year-old participant, said, \u201cI was amazed by how AI can be used in everyday life. I feel more confident using technology now, and I know how to protect myself online.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Kofi Owusu, a teacher from Sunyani, said, \u201cThis training has not only equipped the students with critical digital skills but also empowered them to become responsible digital citizens. The online safety lessons are invaluable in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2024 Digital Literacy and Skills Training demonstrates a strong commitment to advancing digital education in Ghana, preparing young learners to thrive in an increasingly digital world.<\/p>\n

With its focus on practical skills, online safety, and STEM innovation, the initiative continues to shape the future of the nation\u2019s youth, fostering creativity, responsibility, and confidence in the use of technology.<\/p>\n
