Basic Education Cameroon:4,620 electronic school bags handed out to promote distance education

In the pilot phase of its Basic Education Improvement (PAQEB) in Cameroon, the government provided 51 primary schools in six regions with 4,620 electronic school bags to promote distance education.
On November 27, 2014, following a government seminar on the development of electronic administration (e-government) in Cameroon, government officials announced the experiment will be expanded to include several other primary schools.
To develop e-government, the Ministry of Postal Services and Telecoms (Minipostel) issued a call for expressions of interest to have a study conducted about “the implementation of e-service platforms on-line within the framework of the e-post initiative.”

Minipostel explained that, as a part of the e-post project, which involved digitising and connecting all 234 post offices nationwide, a datacentre was set-up “to host e-commerce, e-banking, e-money, e-health, e-education and e-government platforms. […] The proper execution of this project could be a decisive step for Cameroon towards the current push to build an information inclusive company.”
