Officials in the Republic of the Congo just opened a new digital classroom at Denis Sassou N’Guesso High School in Abala. The Minister for the digital economy, Léon Juste Ibombo, attended the ceremony with local leaders and reps from the universal service fund, FASUCE. This multimedia room is the thirtieth one set up by the fund in secondary schools nationwide, part of a push to close the digital divide for students. The project is run by the national telecom regulator, ARPCE.
The school in the Nkéni-Alima department will give around ninety students a modern space to build tech skills. Leaders hope this directly leads to better grades and job readiness. The minister noted the timing is key, as the district prepares for its first-ever class of students to take the baccalaureate exams. A FASUCE committee vice president stated the national goal is to crack Africa's top five for universal digital service. Their program has already hooked up over two hundred locations, reaching hundreds of thousands of people.
A student named Sametone Atipo spoke for the school, thanking the authorities for the resource. The students collectively promised to use the center aggressively, targeting a perfect pass rate on next year’s big exams. The broader initiative aims to leverage technology for equal opportunity and to boost the country's sovereignty in the digital age.
