Opening the workshop organised by the Information Services and Systems Agency (ASSI), the Minister Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU recalled the purpose of the workshop, which brought together all the stakeholders of the e-Education project. In line with the Government's vision, the e-Education project should optimise learning and improve the quality of knowledge transfer through the use of digital tools, she continued. She also called for concerted action among the various stakeholders to arrive at a common roadmap and avoid scattered initiatives.
e-Education is a project of the Government of the Republic of Benin which aims to unify and optimise the management information systems for pupils, students and teaching and supervisory staff, in order to enable better financial and statistical governance of the Beninese education system. It is a cross-cutting project involving the Ministry of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation and the ministries responsible for the three levels of education. It aims to set up next-generation information systems in order to:
- Improve the governance and management of education systems;
- Introduce new teaching and learning practices;
- Improve the monitoring and progress of learners;
- Make certificates and diplomas more reliable
- Strengthen teachers' capacities and skills;
- Improve research
During the workshop, the Ministers gave guidance to the ASSI teams and to the consultancy firm tasked with drawing up, in collaboration with the sector ministries, the specifications for the e-Education project.
