Topics covered in the training include computer parts and their functions, the desktop environment, windows applications, and using menus, buttons, bars and boxes. The ICT training which was facilitated by Harry Tetteh (ICT Program Officer, OIDF) was greatly appreciated by the trainees as it was the first time for most of them to use a computer. Many of the schools present requested for further ICT training programs to increase their knowledge on computers.
