MTN Ghana Limited has presented a set of science instruments to some basic schools within the Western and Central Regions to improve teaching and learning of the science.

"Practical Learning has proven to be more empirical as against theory and skills acquisition in evidence based learning is touted as the best form of learning and it is on that score that MTN is providing the numerous science sets to aid practical learning".

Mr Yakubu Tiyuniba Mohammed, the Acting Regional Senior, South West, at a donation at the Bethel Methodist Basic School in Takoradi said the aim of the initiative was to help students to convert whatever they have learnt from the text books into the practical form.

Mr. Mohammed said the Science sets would therefore enhance education in the selected institutions as well as the knowledge base of students that would pass through the schools.

The Science-sets contained basic science equipment that transforms theory into practical forms.

According to Mr. Mohammed, MTN was passionate about equipping the current generation with requisite skills and ICT information to make science teaching more practicable.

He said currently, fourteen (14) schools have been chosen to benefit from 2000 Science sets and prayed for the second phase building on the success story of the schools selected.

Mr. Caleb Fugah, Marketing Head of Dext Technology, suppliers of the equipment said a pupil of the Berekum Basic School, has been able to invent light to help him study in the night.

He said there was another story in Wa, where a child used the science set to create a traffic light.

The Bethel Methodist School was the only school that was adopted by MTN in the Western Region to be given the science set.

The science set is also called mobile lab and can be used for twenty-six (26) experiments, including alarm system, traffic light, and electromagnet energy among others.

He said the vision of Dext Technology is to make all Ghanaian schools have the Science sets to make Science teaching very practicable.

The Headmistress of Bethel Methodist School, Ms. Gifty Acheampong who received the set, was grateful to MTN for haven chosen the school and prayed that the items would be judiciously used to improve upon science education.

Mobile industry body GSMA has urged European policy makers and operators to work together to safeguard the security of network infrastructure without jeopardising 5G supply chains, as concern grows over the future of vendors in major global markets.

In a statement, the association declared it is time for regulators to take “a fact-based and risk-based approach” to network security, or risk jeopardising the success of 5G rollout in Europe.

The statement comes as European authorities weigh action to block Chinese vendor Huawei from their telecommunications infrastructure amid security concerns. Huawei has strenuously denied it poses a threat.

By 2025, mobile operators are expected to invest between €300 billion and €500 billion on the roll out of 5G across Europe.

GSMA warned actions which disrupt the network equipment supply “will increase costs to European operators, businesses and citizens; delay 5G deployment by years across Europe; and potentially also jeopardise the functioning of existing 4G networks upon which 5G is intended to be built.”

Last month it was reported that Deutsche Telekom believes Europe’s 5G rollout could be delayed by at least two years if governments on the continent implement a ban on Huawei.

Along with Germany, France and Norway have also said they are considering a ban on Huawei. In the UK, Vodafone Group said in January it was pausing installation of new Huawei core network equipment across its European operations. BT previously said it would remove kit made by the vendor in mobile operator EE’s core network within two years.

No evidence of wrongdoing
While the GSMA noted extensive government and operator testing has “not discovered any evidence of wrongdoing” to date, it stated operators “stand ready to work with policy makers now to agree on further proportionate and risk-based methods, not least a common, consistent and agreed security assurance, testing and certification regime for Europe.”

The GSMA said it will build on its existing security work and is assembling a task force of European operators to identify ways to enhance and extend current schemes. It also recommends that governments and mobile operators work together to agree what this assurance testing and certification regime for Europe will be, “so that it ensures confidence in network security while maintaining competition in the supply of network equipment.”
