Project information
Project description
Access to information and communication technology is one of the keys to quality education. Unfortunately, this technology is still widely unavailable in many third world country schools. The present project is aiming to contribute in a concrete way to the improvement of this situation in a particular education facility. The intention is to equip the École Bilingue “Les Philanthropes”, a bilingual primary school located in outskirts of Yaoundé (Cameroon) with a computer classroom and to form a local teacher to maintain the classroom and use it in education of the students. The facilities will be provided by the school itself, as will be a part of the computers gathered as used “second-hand” equipment from local donors. The rest of the computers is an object of a pending request at Labdoo. The technical part of the project (computer installation, summer classes and formation of the future classroom responsible) will be ensured by a volunteering foreign IT expert.
