The Ministry of National Education launched on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, a major national training programme in digital and artificial intelligence (AI). This major initiative targets all teachers and educational staff in the country. This action is not isolated: it is an essential component of the Digital Education Strategy 2025-2029. Its implementation is supported by the strategic support of the Mastercard Foundation and the Université Numérique Cheikh Hamidou Kane (UN-CHK), through its FORCE-N programme. Preparing the students, guaranteeing an ethic. The main objective is twofold: on the one hand, to strengthen the digital skills of educators to better prepare students for the technological challenges of tomorrow; on the other hand, to promote an ethical and responsible use of new technologies while ensuring the preservation of the cultural values of Senegal. In parallel with this training of trainers, computers were distributed to the students of the science series, concretizing the government’s commitment to technological learning on the ground. The number, the lever of sovereignty. This programme is directly aligned with the vision of President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, who is the digital and strategic lever for the educational sovereignty of Senegal. With this massive investment in the digital transformation of its educational system, Senegal clearly displays its ambition to become a reference player in Africa in the successful integration of digital in schools.
