MINESEC Cameroon — National Intelligent Classroom Program

Cameroon's Ministry of Secondary Education national pilot to introduce intelligent classrooms across the country's secondary system — combining classroom hardware, MicroCloud offline content, and structured teacher training into one coherent model aligned with Vision 2035 and Agenda 2063.

The Challenge

Many secondary classrooms in Cameroon face limitations in access to modern teaching tools, structured digital content, and continuous teacher professional development. These constraints affect lesson delivery, student engagement, and long-term learning outcomes — and they are amplified in rural districts where connectivity is unreliable and instructional time is regularly lost.

The Approach

Rather than introducing isolated devices, EDXIS and MINESEC designed an integrated model that combines classroom hardware, learning software, and hands-on teacher training into one program — engineered for scale, sustainability, and real classroom use. The pilot was sequenced across foundation, content, training, and deployment phases to keep pedagogy ahead of technology.

Outcomes
  • ✓Nationwide intelligent classroom model aligned with Vision 2035 and Agenda 2063
  • ✓Thousands of curriculum-aligned video lessons accessible without internet via MicroCloud
  • ✓Master trainers and certified teachers actively integrating interactive pedagogy
  • ✓A blueprint MINESEC can scale across secondary education nationally
Measurable Impact
  • →National pilot footprint of 252 intelligent classrooms aligned with Vision 2035 and Agenda 2063. [1][4]
  • →Thousands of curriculum-aligned video lessons reach classrooms without requiring internet, via MicroCloud. [1][4]
  • →Master Trainer cascade gives MINESEC an in-country capability to scale certification beyond the pilot. [2][4]
  • →Modular solar-powered reference classroom inaugurated in Yaoundé (March 2026) as the blueprint for off-grid sites. [1][3]

How these KPIs were measured

For credibility with ministry partners, every KPI on this page is tied back to a defined timeframe, named data sources, and the assumptions used to count it.

Timeframe
Baseline 2022 (programme inception) through nationwide deployment of the 252-classroom pilot in early 2026.
Data sources
  • MINESEC programme records — classroom commissioning logs, MicroCloud serial registers, and inspectorate sign-offs [1].
  • Master Trainer Workshop attendance and certification records (Commonwealth of Learning delegation, October 2025) [2].
  • DLC studio production logs reconciled with school-level MicroCloud sync receipts.[sources]
  • Joint EDXIS–MINESEC deployment reporting [4].
Assumptions & counting rules
  • A 'classroom equipped' is counted only after panel + MicroCloud are installed, network-tested, and the host school has signed acceptance.
  • Certified teacher counts include only initial-cohort certifications validated by the master-trainer cascade — informal in-school training is excluded.
  • 'Curriculum-aligned' DLC lessons are those mapped to the national secondary syllabus by a MINESEC inspector.
  • Pilot footprint figures cover the 252-classroom national pilot only; out-of-pilot deployments are reported separately.
Per-KPI notes
  • Schools with offline curriculum content: One MicroCloud unit per pilot classroom; coverage at the school level is assured wherever at least one pilot classroom has been commissioned.
  • Certified master trainers (national cascade): Counts trainers who completed the October 2025 workshop AND received Commonwealth-of-Learning-witnessed certification.

Together, EDXIS, MINESEC, and the Commonwealth are laying the foundation for a digital future. This project represents more than devices and installations — it is a commitment to opportunity, equity, and lasting educational transformation.
