In Cameroon, AI and Data Analysis are Transforming Education, Even During Strikes!

What if artificial intelligence held the key to quality education, accessible to all, even in times of crisis? In Cameroon, faced with the challenges of technical education and repeated teacher strikes, an innovative solution is proving its worth.

Imagine: students able to understand their mistakes, progress at their own pace, and approach exams with confidence, despite a difficult school environment. This is the reality for Baba Mahamat and Biyong Ulrich Maël, two technical high school students at the Nkolbisson Bilingual Technical High School, thanks to a revolutionary educational approach combining data analysis and AI.

Data Analysis Comes to Biyong U.M.’s Rescue


After failing the 2023 baccalaureate exam, Biyong was demotivated and unable to identify his weaknesses. This is where ISEP (Intelligent System for Educational Performance) comes in, an innovative project that deeply analyzes academic results. Thanks to ISEP, Biyong was able to clearly visualize his shortcomings, understand the reasons for his failure, and focus on areas for improvement. Success achieved: this year, Biyong not only passed the practical exams but also obtained his baccalaureate degree in 2024!

Gemini AI: A Virtual Teacher During the Strike


Meanwhile, a teachers' strike at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year paralyzed the education system. It was in this difficult context that Baba and Biyong discovered Gemini, the AI tool developed by Google. By correcting past baccalaureate exam questions, Gemini provided them with clear and detailed explanations, allowing them to fill their gaps in knowledge and better understand their lessons, even in the absence of their teachers.

Concrete Results and a Promising Future


Thanks to this approach combining data analysis (inspired by ISEP) and AI (Gemini), the results were not long in coming. Biyong regained his confidence and passed his baccalaureate, while Baba also passed his exam with honors ("Assez Bien").

AI and Data Analysis: A Beacon of Hope for Education in Cameroon


The story of Baba and Biyong is proof that AI and data analysis have the power to transform education, even in a challenging context. These technologies offer personalized support, adapt to the needs of each student, and allow for more effective and equitable learning.
