The expected cost of the first 450,000 tablets is 112 million cedis, while the total cost of the 1.3 million tablets is 337 million Ghana cedis.
Concerns regarding government expenditures on tablet distribution have been voiced by some in light of the difficulties the Free SHS scheme is facing.
Budgetary restrictions are unrelated to the logistical difficulties facing the Free SHS initiative, according to Dr. Adutwum, who also clarified that the monies allotted for the tablet project cannot be used for any other purpose.
Higher-population schools will have on-site repair centers to handle any potential tablet malfunctions or misuse.
The minister did point out that pupils are often responsible with their school supplies and that teachers are more likely to misuse technology than students are.
Giving away free student tablets is viewed as a big step in digitizing Ghanaian education and guaranteeing that all students have equal access to learning resources.
