The Intelligent Classroom is designed to revolutionize teaching methods and empower students with 21st-century skills, according to Prime Minister Ngute. Speaking at the ceremony, he highlighted the project as a manifestation of President Paul Biya’s vision to transform ideas into practical outcomes. “The Intelligent Classroom represents a new generation of learning infrastructure aimed at modernizing teaching and preparing students for the digital age,” Ngute.
The classroom is equipped with advanced technology and is adaptable to various locations, even those without consistent internet or electricity. This feature makes it a feasible option for expanding digital education across the country.

The launch is part of a broader digitization project for secondary education in Cameroon, aiming to align the system with global technological standards.

Further details regarding the expansion and implementation of the Intelligent Classroom model are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
