Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Government is to
\nprovide free WiFi (Internet) service in all tertiary and secondary schools
\nacross the country to aid teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

It is in fulfillment
\nof the campaign pledge of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration to
\npursue free WiFi for certain categories of educational institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to
\ninform you that we have moved very quickly on this and by the grace of God, we
\nwill start a first rollout of the free WiFi amongst about one university and
\nabout three senior high schools or so,\u201d Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
\nsaid during an International Youth Day celebration at Mampong-Akwapim in the
\nEastern Region yesterday.<\/p>\n

The Vice-President said that they are instituting the programme such that within the next two years, the programme would have covered all tertiary institutions and senior high schools in the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe do this not
\nbecause we want to provide free WiFi, but it is so fundamental; most of the
\ninformation we need today is on the Internet and so we want to make sure that
\nstudents and the youth have access to that information \u2026 such measures are
\nbeing put in place with the ultimate aim of transforming the economy,\u201d he
\nemphasized.<\/p>\n

He charged the
\nyouth to have a positive mindset as they strive for the
\ntop. \u201cLet us not underestimate our abilities; you can reach for the skies. This
\nis why I keep saying that we should never say this is impossible. It has not
\nyet been made possible and you may be the one to make it possible. Let us not
\nthink about impossibilities. Anything is possible by the grace of God and with
\nhard work,\u201d the Vice-President pointed out.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive
\nOfficer (CEO) of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Emmanuel Sin-Nyet Asigri, encouraged
\nthe youth to take advantage of every opportunity to develop their skills as the
\nsurest way towards a brighter future.<\/p>\n

The NYA, he said, would be rolling out a month\u2019s voluntary youth camp project that would seek to encourage volunteerism.<\/p>\n
