Cameroon is among the sub-Saharan African countries that are making enormous progress in the use of the ICTs in the various development sectors, including education. Private schools introduced ICTs into their curricula in the 1990s, but there is no specific policy guiding the teaching or use of ICTs in education, which has lead to each private school applying its own teaching method or program. ICTs were officially introduced into education in 2001 by the president. The Cyber Education Project launched since then by the government targets two sectors: secondary and tertiary education. Primary schools are not yet concerned. The project started a slowly, but is now gaining speed. The French government plays a great role in the implementation and is a major partner both financially and technically. Major achievements include establishing Multimedia Resources Centre's (MRCs) in universities, professional and technological schools, and some government secondary schools; training monitors to manage MRCs; creating learning platforms; interconnecting the six state universities; and establishing training units in professional schools and universities, some of which are now operational.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO COMPUTERSACHIEVEMENTSADULT LITERACYADULT LITERACY RATECHURCHESCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTER SCIENCECOMPUTER TRAININGCURRICULACURRICULUMDEMONSTRATIONDIGITAL DIVIDEDISTANCE LEARNINGDISTANCE TRAININGEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION · REFORMEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL INITIATIVESEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL POLICIESEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMESEDUCATIONAL PROJECTSEDUCATIONAL RESEARCHEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSENROLMENT RATIOENROLMENT RATIOSFACULTY OF AGRICULTUREFEMALE ADULT LITERACYFEMALE ADULT LITERACY RATEFOREIGN UNIVERSITIESGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMATION SOCIETYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONLEADERSHIPLEARNERSLEARNINGLEARNING INITIATIVESLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING RESOURCESLECTURERSLIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACYLITERACY RATELITERATUREMINISTRIES OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION MINISTRYNATIONAL LANGUAGESNATIONAL UNIVERSITIESNUTRITIONPAPERSPEDAGOGYPERFORMANCE AT SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE SCHOOLPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL TRAININGPUPILSQUALITY OF LIFERADIORADIO PROGRAMMEREADINGRESEARCH INSTITUTERESOURCE CENTRESSCHOOL CURRICULUMSCHOOL ENROLMENTSCHOOL LEARNINGSCHOOLINGSCIENTIFIC TRAININGSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSTATE UNIVERSITIESSTUDENT POPULATIONTEACHERTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING MATERIALSTEACHING METHODTEACHING METHODSTEACHING QUALITYTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY INSTITUTIONTRAINING CENTRESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING FACILITIESTRAINING NEEDSTRAINING OF TEACHERSTRAINING PROGRAMMETRAINING RESOURCESTRAINING SCHOOLSTRAINING TO TEACHERSTUITIONTUTORSUNIVERSITIESVIDEO-CONFERENCINGWORD PROCESSINGYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHYOUTH LITERACYWorld Bank10.1596/10681
