He further reiterated how the 1S1L initiative would enhance teaching and learning by bridging the digital divide.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, who received the donation on behalf of the University Management, expressed delight and noted the commitment of teachers towards equipping students, so that after their university education, they will be technologically adept and will be amenable to the factors that they have to deal with at the work place.
