Article: The impact of digital innovation in education in the DRC
Education in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is experiencing a digital revolution. The Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) has recently implemented several digital tools aimed at improving the country’s education system. These innovations include a reference directory of accredited private schools, a geolocation application for schools and now a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of teachers’ pay in the field.
The digital teacher payroll tracking tool was presented at a ceremony chaired by the Prime Minister, Sama Lukonde. This new technology makes it possible to highlight the role of each structure involved in the salary payment process, thus ensuring increased transparency and efficiency. The Prime Minister, impressed by this initiative, welcomed the efforts made in favor of the Congolese education system.
The Minister of EPST, Tony Mwaba Kazadi, explained the operation of this tool via the site “www.dinacoperdc.com”. He stressed that the objective was to identify the difficulties encountered in the process of paying teachers and to put in place appropriate solutions. The Minister also recalled the importance given by the government to free basic education and regular payment of teachers’ salaries and school operating costs.
This digital innovation demonstrates the progress made in the digitization of the education sector in the DRC. It aims to ensure that teachers receive their salaries on time and that schools have the necessary resources to ensure their functioning. The Congolese government is committed to promoting free education and recognizes the importance of regular and reliable payment for the success of this program.
The implementation of this digital tool is an important step in improving the education system in the DRC. It reinforces transparency, facilitates the management of resources and contributes to a better organization of teaching. Actors in the education sector are invited to support this initiative and work together for the development of the Congolese education system.
In conclusion, digital innovation in education in the DRC plays a key role in improving the sector. The teacher payroll tracking tool is a major step forward that guarantees better management of resources and increased transparency. Thanks to these innovations, education in the DRC is modernizing and positioning itself as a key player in the development of the country
