The Digital Transformation of Africa 4 a Digitally Inclusive Economy

Mobile Computer Lab

Despite the advancement in Information Technology in the world today, Cameroon is yet to adopt and implement ICT as a major course in its educational Board regarding the fact that ICT skills are mostly needed for development in almost all industries today. To this effect, very little is known as far as ICT is concerned in the Cameroon general, technical and vocational educational sectors. According to I-GLOBE’s 2009/2010 primary survey, and the Most recent one in 2014, only about 17% of schools in most urban areas in the South West region are equipped with computer labs. After carrying out a Semi-Structured Interviews (SSI) with a good number of students in these educational sectors, it was revealed that 70% of graduating students from 30 Schools with Computer Labs complete School without ever visiting the Lab. 25% of students who use the lab know about the internet and just those with E-mail accounts use it either to send or receive mails from their loved ones. None of the above students have ever used the internet for research or educational purposes,   Meanwhile 43% of trainees in IT Training Centers study it as a minor course. Therefore, the overall assessment of Computer application into Cameroon schools is about 15%

I-GLOBE’s initiative in designing and implementing a nationwide program called “National High School Computer Animation Project (NAHSCAP)” is to equilibrate access to timeless Education, ICT resources sharing, Career Development, professional training and effective use of the communication facilities like internet (both mobile and cybercafés), among low/high class and distant/close learners within the various Educational sectors in Cameroon. The Mobile computer lab is the framework through which the program will be implemented.
