Tunis, August 29, 2008: The digital summer school organized by the Global Digital Solidarity Fund (DSF) in collaboration with ADEA came to an end yesterday after three days of discussions on the use of tools such as interactive whiteboards (IWBs) and their deployment in African contexts. The meeting was held August 25-28 in Hammamet, Tunisia. Delegations from 16 Francophone countries (Algeria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Tunisia) explored the IWB, both as a teaching tool and as a means of meeting the challenges faced by education in Africa, in formal primary, non-formal and secondary education as well as in the different subjects taught (languages, history and geography, mathematics and science). The summer school concluded with the presentation of an interactive whiteboard as a gift to each participating Francophone country delegation. ADEA will continue to facilitate dialogue and sharing of experience on digital education and will support local processes in partnership with other organizations such as the DSF and the Education for All Network in Africa (REPTA).
