"We enhance human potential through life-long learning and develop local talents for global market"

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.
