Project or context description

  • Project presentation:

Raqameyon is a 1-year project funded by the French government and implemented by Expertise France in collaboration with the Libyan government.

The project's overall objective is to support the Libyan digital transition by contributing to the diversification of the job market, focusing on the digital economy. More specifically, the project aims to support the creation of employment opportunities in the digital sector by disseminating digital skills among various audiences and supporting the development of local training and digital capacity-development programs.

  • Context:

Private schools in Libya introduced programs of introduction to new technologies a few years ago. This is far from being the case in public schools, which are lagging in this area, this is creating a de facto additional gap between students. To remedy this, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and 5 public schools in 5 municipalities (Benghazi, Misurata, Janzour, Tripoli and Sebha), a technical assistance program will be developed so that a digital training curriculum, adapted to the specificities of Libya, could be formalized, and taught to primary school students by teachers previously trained for this purpose.

 Two agents from the Ministry of Education and two referents per school (10 in total) will be trained by experts and accompanied by the project team in the concrete implementation of this initiative. With them, a first training cycle will be organized. After that, the objective is that these referents will be able to replicate these training courses independently.

The concrete objectives of this training are multiple for the students:

- To raise students' awareness and change their mentalities: it is possible to solve society's problems through the use of new technologies.

- To develop students' concrete technical skills.

- To teach students to look for solutions by themselves (need for a pro-active attitude to solve programming problems).

Involving the Ministry of Education and providing training for teaching staff respectively allows for the possibility of this initiative being extended to other cities and to be sustainable as it can be replicated.

  • Needs:

The second component of this project will be dedicated to support Libya in its digital transition through the support provided to the Ministry of Education to develop an up-to-date digital curriculum that answers the primary students’ needs.

The activities involved in this component are:

  • Development of a digital training curriculum for primary schools’ students in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.

  • Organizing 5 bootcamps in the selected schools.
