  <description type="1">
   <narrative xml:lang="EN">African countries are confronted with a myriad of educational challenges, including, among others an insufficient number of qualified subject-teachers. This is particularly true for teachers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
This project seeks to improve equitable and quality learning environments for all learners through the development of STEM learning materials, relevant pedagogy and curriculum, and ongoing training of teachers in Benin, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). 
The project will be implemented through phases including needs assessment and curriculum development, development and dissemination of innovative digital contents and courses for both students and teachers. These elements will be piloted and refined with the view to scaling them in the education systems of the three countries. In adapting the material and approach to the three national contexts, the project will specifically address the need for both low and higher tech solutions, cost-effectiveness and multilingual content.
The project will be led by the Cameroon Baptist Convention Education Department, in consortium with non-governmental organizations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Benin, the Emmanuel Community, HEAR Congo, and Trois Soeurs Education Fund. The consortium will be supported by two North American partners and a Japan-based EdTech foundation (NextGenU., a portal to free and accredited higher education, Scientific Animations Without Borders (SAWBO), which provides multi-lingual, inclusive educational content for STEM and EDGEofEducation in Japan.
This project is one of the six selected through a competitive call for proposals of the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, addressing educational challenges of Francophone and Lusophone countries in Africa.</narrative>
   <narrative xml:lang="FR">Les pays africains sont confront&#xe9;s &#xe0; une myriade de d&#xe9;fis &#xe9;ducatifs, notamment un nombre insuffisant d&apos;enseignants qualifi&#xe9;s. C&apos;est particuli&#xe8;rement vrai dans les domaines des sciences, de la technologie, de l&apos;ing&#xe9;nierie et des math&#xe9;matiques (STIM). Ce projet vise &#xe0; am&#xe9;liorer les environnements d&apos;apprentissage pour qu&apos;ils soient &#xe9;quitables et de qualit&#xe9; pour tous les apprenants gr&#xe2;ce &#xe0; l&apos;&#xe9;laboration de mat&#xe9;riel d&apos;apprentissage pour les STIM, &#xe0; une p&#xe9;dagogie et &#xe0; un curriculum pertinents, et &#xe0; une formation continue des enseignants, au B&#xe9;nin, au Cameroun et en R&#xe9;publique d&#xe9;mocratique du Congo.

Le projet comprendra une &#xe9;valuation des besoins, la conception et l&apos;&#xe9;laboration de curriculums, la mise &#xe0; l&apos;essai et la diffusion de contenus num&#xe9;riques innovants, ainsi que des cours destin&#xe9;s aux &#xe9;l&#xe8;ves et aux enseignants. Ces &#xe9;l&#xe9;ments feront l&apos;objet d&apos;essais pilotes et seront affin&#xe9;s en vue de leur mise &#xe0; l&apos;&#xe9;chelle dans les syst&#xe8;mes &#xe9;ducatifs des trois pays. En adaptant le mat&#xe9;riel et l&apos;approche aux trois contextes nationaux, le projet r&#xe9;pondra sp&#xe9;cifiquement au besoin de solutions concernant &#xe0; la fois la basse technologie et la haute technologie, la rentabilit&#xe9; et le contenu multilingue. D&apos;une mani&#xe8;re g&#xe9;n&#xe9;rale, le projet int&#xe9;grera &#xe9;galement l&apos;utilisation des technologies dans les curriculums et les syst&#xe8;mes de formation des enseignants de ces pays.

Ce projet est financ&#xe9; par l&apos;interm&#xe9;diaire d&apos;un appel &#xe0; propositions concurrentiel du programme Partage de connaissances et d&apos;innovations du Partenariat mondial pour l&apos;&#xe9;ducation, qui porte sur les d&#xe9;fis en mati&#xe8;re d&apos;&#xe9;ducation de pays francophones et lusophones (de langue portugaise) d&apos;Afrique.</narrative>
