As all secondary schools, secondary schools in sub-Saharan Africa also attach much value to preparing its pupils for their future as well as they can. Improving and adapting education to changes in society is very important in this process. One of those changes is a radical automation of the society. Therefore, Viafrica has implemented the first projects in Tanzania with regard to computer science in secondary schools.
The concept
CLASSworks is based on the concept that secondary schools have to take the initiative. In co-operation with two pilot schools, Viafrica has drawn up a number of conditions a school has to meet before computer science can be made available at the school. One condition is that an adequate room has to be made available, others are that computer science teachers have to be trained and a sustainable exploitation plan has to be developed. All conditions are described fully in an agreement.
When a school has met all necessary conditions, and thus shows it is willing to make investments for this new facility, Viafrica will provide the necessary computers, the implementation and further training of the teachers. After this, the school takes over completely and is responsible itself. The exploitation plan also makes sure that the school has the necessary means to be able to function independently.
