A media library equipped with books and a connected computer centre has been inaugurated at the 1er Mars secondary school in Matam, Conakry, for nearly 3,000 pupils. The Diaka Camara Foundation is leading the project with the Orange Guinea Foundation and L'Harmattan Guinea, as part of a programme planned for 15 Greater Conakry schools, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
The Diaka Camara Foundation for Education inaugurated a media library at the 1er Mars secondary school in Matam, Conakry, an facility that is expected to directly benefit nearly 3,000 secondary school students. The ceremony was chaired by Bintou Keita, Guinea's Minister of National Education, Literacy, Technical Education and Vocational Training, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Named Amina Abou-Khalil after the general administrator of the Orange Guinea Foundation, the media library contains literary works and a connected computer centre intended to introduce students to digital tools. The project received financial and logistical support from the Orange Guinea Foundation, in partnership with L'Harmattan Guinea.
The Matam school is the third stage of the 'One school, one library' programme, which aims to equip 15 schools in Greater Conakry. The initiative was preceded by the project to equip 50 schools with digital technology, announced on 6 October by Orange Guinea and UNICEF.
