Dubai, 25 August 2025 — NDX, a global provider of intelligent classroom solutions, is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Secondary Education of Cameroon (MINESEC) and NDX have entered into a landmark agreement to enhance digital education in Cameroon. This initiative, implemented as part of the World Bank-supported PADESCE (Cameroon Secondary Education and Skills Development Project), aims to address critical challenges in secondary education, improve equitable access, and elevate the quality of teaching and learning in the country.

Under this partnership, the project will begin by focusing on the digital transformation of 250 schools across Cameroon, leveraging cutting-edge educational technologies to create a more inclusive and modern learning environment. The programme aligns with PADESCE's broader objectives to strengthen access, equity and quality in secondary education, supporting Cameroon's National Development Strategy 2030 (NDS30).

This initiative, aligned with the PADESCE framework, is a critical step in ensuring that all students, regardless of their location, have access to quality education. By integrating digital tools and innovative teaching resources, we aim to reduce educational disparities, empower teachers, and prepare our youth to thrive in a global, knowledge-driven economy. This partnership with NDX demonstrates our commitment to transforming education and achieving our national development goals.
