The Cameroonian and Chinese governments recently signed an agreement for the financing of a digital interconnection project for the state universities, for an amount of FCfa 75 billion. The information was revealed by the Minister for Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo, to the management of Chinese company Sichuang Communication Telecom Construction Company.

Zhao Dhezi, the head of the Chinese delegation hosted at the ministry of Higher Education, said that the establishment of this project will enable, for example, a lecturer who is in his office at the ministry to give his lecture from that desk, to his students who are in one of the auditoriums of one of the country’s state universities.

According to the Chinese delegation, this project titled “e-National Higher Education Network”, and which consists in “networking Cameroonian universities, is aimed at getting Cameroon up to par with international digital education norms”.
