Microsoft to sponsor Ghana’s chalkboard computer teacher

A Ghanaian teacher who went viral after sharing a picture of himself drawing Microsoft Word software onto a blackboard during a lesson has caught the attention of the tech giant.

Owura Kwadwo’s image has been widely shared on Facebook and Twitter, earning him praise for going the extra mile to teach his students.




His dedication impressed Microsoft staff, who tweeted the company will equip Mr Kwadwo with a device to help him during his lessons:

Mr Kwadwo posted the photo two weeks ago on his Facebook page to share what it was like to teach computer lessons – an exam subject – without actually having a computer.
