InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Ghana and Angola have become the most recent African signatories to agreements with Microsoft. Earlier this month the government of Ghana signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. software giant, aimed at creating a workforce that is literate in information and communications technology. Last month, Angola signed an agreement with Microsoft on financing Internet access for the government and training.
The agreement between the government of Ghana and Microsoft calls for a number of actions. These include Microsoft working out a National Educational Licensing Agreement with the government of Ghana for all schools using Microsoft desktop and server software.
