The equipment was officially handed over to the Ministry of Secondary Education on May 22, 2026 at the Distance Learning Centre in Yaoundé.
It is part of a project funded by the Government of Japan, and executed by the UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa(IICBA).
The equipment comprises 48 desktop computers, nine laptops, eight LCD projectors, eight smart boards, eight multifunctional printers, eight backup hard drives, eight PC servers with central hubs, and two solar backup systems destined for Teachers’ Training Colleges across the country.
According to the Minister of Secondary Education, Prof. Nalova Lyonga, the equipment will be distributed to institutions in Buea, Bamenda, Garoua, Yagoua, Edea, Bertoua, Ebolowa and Bafoussam.
She says the equipment will strengthen teacher-training, and improve inclusive access to quality education, which aligns with government efforts to reinforce the digital transformation of the education sector.
Senior Programme Coordinator at UNESCO-IICBA, Sall Saliou, explained that the programme also focuses on building teachers’ capacities in the use of ICTs and creating safer learning environments in schools.
Cameroon is among six African countries benefiting from the project alongside Chad, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso and Mauritania.
