Plans are ongoing to equip schools and educational institutions with ICT equipment.

The Centre for the Supply and Maintenance of Teaching Equipment (CAMEMD) is in charge of the acquisition of IT equipment on behalf of the Ministry of National Education. In the last years CAMEMD equipped 2251 middle and primary schools with computers; the project was worth £25 million in contracts.

While setting up and developing equipment is one of the main pillars to integrating ICT into education in Algeria, training is another major component. Partnerships are gradually being formed to introduce both students and teachers to using ICT.

In the face of continued globalisation and rising competition, keeping up with technological change has become essential. Traditionally, ICT usage in Algeria has lagged behind, which has begun to create problems in terms of graduate employability. To ensure people acquire the necessary IT skills to compete in a modern economy, Algeria is increasing the use of ICT in education.

It was estimated that on-line education market increased from 14.3 billion RMB in 2004 to 72.3 billion in 2012, with 22.5% annual average compound growth rate. In 2015, the market will roar to 174.5 billion RMB.  
China is pacing towards a more information and technology based economy. It promises to provide broadband connectivity to all K-12 classrooms by 2020.

The most promising opportunities lie in the China’s tightly regulated public education system, for example in rising demand for home schooling, after-school tutoring, vocational training and preschool education. Therefore, it is preferably to work with a local Chinese partner who’s already penetrated the system and good track record of development.
