The Anambra State Government said that teachers in the state who are not computer literate will no longer enjoy promotion starting from January 2016. 

Prof. Kate Omenugha, state Commissioner for Education, mentioned in a press briefing any new teacher to be employed in the state must be computer literate. She, however, explained that the state government’s policy on laptop acquisition by all teachers in the state was not mandatory, as misconceived by some teachers.

Omenugha, however, said that the state government would not punish any teacher that did not have a laptop by January 2016 but she insisted that any of them that was not computer literate at the end of this year would not be promoted.
