MINESEC Engages with Google Cloud to Boost Digital Skills in Cameroonian Youths.

 

The Ministry of Secondary Education opens up to the Cloud technology to enable students take up current and future challenges with ease. This was during an audience Professor Nalova Lyonga, Minister of Secondary Education, granted Félix Manoharan, Head of Strategy for Higher Education in Europe, Middle-East and Africa from Google Cloud, on Wednesday, 3 November 2021.

The envoy from the USA-based IT giant came to discuss the introduction of Cloud programmes in secondary schools to bridge the skills’ gaps in the digital domain and enable Cameroonian youth find their vocations in this highly promising sector.

Based on the fact that, education in Africa has not benefitted from the huge technological advancements witnessed over the last decade, Félix Manoharan expressed the wish to see MINESEC and Google start a pilot project to introduce Google Cloud programmes in secondary schools. The project to be implemented in a few selected secondary schools comprises two major components: the acquisition of the IT infrastructure necessary for its deployment and a training component to develop skills and competences in both teachers and learners on the Cloud technology.

The immediate benefit of the project will be to boost the teaching of Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and empower Cameroonian youths, boys and girls alike, so that they can be able to engage in digital careers.

The Secondary Education Minister fully approved the project and expressed her readiness to start its pilot implementation. MINESEC was satisfied with the project’s objectives and received guarantees regarding privacy issues, data security as well as the security and the affordability of the infrastructure needed.

Through this project, Google intends to make Cameroon a hub of Cloud competences all over Africa, as the country will be the first to run Google Cloud programmes in schools on the continent.

Madam Gwendoline Nzo-NGUTY ABUNAW, Managing Director of Ecobank explained that, “Ecobank has put forth products, particularly digital products and services that allow the collection of fees at the points of payment within secondary schools. This will give the government a clear view on the amount of fees that is being paid and give a sense of transparency to parents, students and everyone involved in the process. Hence, making sure that things are being done in the right manner. With these products and services, financial inclusion is ensured thanks to the availability of a USSD code which is being used by parents and students who do not have access to the Internet and who lack Android phones to be able to do their payments with ease.”

Orange Cameroon through its General Manager Patrick BENON said “Orange Cameroon has a service known as mobile money services and over seven million people are using it in Cameroon. Therefore, with the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding it is seven million people who will be using the service for the payment of fees. It will be beneficial to all stakeholders that is, the government, parents, and school authorities as it will facilitate the payment of fees without having to stand in long queues and ensure transparency as well as traceability of these funds.”

MINESEC Salutes Teachers for their Pivotal Role in Society

To Professor Nalova Lyonga, teachers “are all the kings of talk and chalk.”

The colourful ceremony held at the Yaounde Sports Complex on Tuesday, 5th October 2021 was the opportunity for Professor Nalova Lyonga, Minister of Secondary Education, to acknowledge the fundamental role teachers play in building the world. 

P222

The same consideration was given to teachers by the Yaoundé City Mayor in his welcome speech and by the Representative of the Sub-regional Director of UNESCO when delivering the joint statement from UNESCO, ILO, UNICEF and Education International on teachers’ Day.

Despite the health crisis, teachers in Cameroon remain focused and have safeguarded education at all levels. Secondary Education boss admitted that “teachers are not only at the heart of education recovery, but they are also at the heart of educational survival”. In order to keep the profession advancing in the right way, Prof Nalova Lyonga assured teachers of the government’s support and urged them to smoothly adapt to the new realities by improving their pedagogic practices.

P333

And it is in view of boosting the transition towards modern teaching practices that, some schools in the country were offered laptops by a Cameroonian national who works in the United States of America. This adds to the basket of donors to whom the Minister paid a solemn tribute for their consistent support in promoting talent development in Cameroonian youths.

During the event, some teachers were awarded Medals and Honours in the ranks of Knight and Officer of Academic Palms. This was in recognition of their commitment and decisive contribution in shaping the society through quality education. Likewise, some retired high ranking officials in the Ministry of Secondary Education were given a cheerful send-off.

The presence of the Governor of the Centre Region, Naseri Paul Bea, and four cabinet ministers alongside Basic and Secondary Education Ministers testifies of the Government’s concern for the teaching profession in Cameroon.
