The Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU, and her colleagues Eléonore YAYI LADEKAN, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Kouaro Yves CHABI, Minister of Secondary, Technical and Vocational Education, visited on Wednesday 12 January 2022 the construction site of the technical training facility of the Digital Trades School in Fidjrossè.
Authorised by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday 17 November 2021, the construction of the technical training facility of the Digital Trades School actually began on 20 December 2021 for a period of three (03) months. The facility comprises in particular an indoor area housing a module of three workshops for practical work, a show apartment, an outdoor area for reproducing the network architecture currently deployed in Benin as well as international developments, and a storage room for sensitive equipment.
According to the Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, the technical training facility of the Digital Trades School project is an important and indispensable component of this school, which will give learners practical skills. “We have seen all the planned infrastructure, the practical work rooms and also the show apartment, which will allow learners to practise what they will be doing once they are in companies… We also gave some guidance so that everything planned meets the ambitions of the Government, which wanted to set up this school for Beninese youth so that training matches the needs of the labour market,” she said.
At the end of the visit, the three (03) Ministers expressed their satisfaction with the progress of the works, which had reached a physical completion rate of 25%, twenty-four (24) days after they began.
