Project Overview

A national pilot for intelligent classrooms across Cameroon.

This national pilot introduces intelligent classrooms across Cameroon's secondary education system. It combines classroom technology, teacher training and offline content access to support equitable, scalable and sustainable digital transformation.

New intelligent classroom building under construction in Cameroon
From challenge to classroom impact

A national pilot designed to strengthen teaching, empower educators and modernise learning — sustainably.

The Challenge

Many secondary classrooms in Cameroon face limitations in access to modern teaching tools, structured digital content and continuous teacher professional development. These challenges affect lesson delivery, student engagement and long-term learning outcomes.

The Vision

The MINESEC pilot demonstrates how a thoughtfully designed, technology-enabled classroom — aligned with pedagogy, training and local context — can support teachers and enhance student learning without increasing complexity.

The Approach

Rather than introducing isolated devices, the project integrates classroom hardware, learning software and hands-on teacher training into one coherent model — designed for scale, sustainability and real classroom use.

1. Equal access for all learners

Ensuring meaningful learning experiences regardless of connectivity.

2. Empowering teachers as leaders of change

Strengthening capacity through training, coaching and pedagogy.

3. Building sustainable, scalable digital ecosystems

Supporting MINESEC in developing a national intelligent classroom model.
