The Supdeco Group signed a partnership on Saturday, February 1st, with the Internet Society Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting the accessibility and expansion of digital technology, especially among young people and vulnerable populations.
This partnership is fully aligned with our commitment to equal opportunities and the transmission of knowledge to our students. Through the Supdeco ISOC Club, they will have access to exceptional digital content and will be responsible for sharing it across Senegal, including in the most remote areas.
We extend our gratitude to Mr. Jean Jacques Ntab, President of the Internet Society Foundation, for his trust in our institution. A special tribute also goes to Professor Alex Corenthin, a pioneer of the Internet in Senegal and an active member of the Foundation.
As the digital divide with Northern countries continues to grow, and with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the challenge is clear: strengthening digital education and ensuring equal access to technological tools for everyone is essential. Digital literacy from an early age has now become a major societal challenge.
It is unacceptable that a child in Fongolimbi grows up without access to digital tools while we are experiencing an unprecedented technological revolution. This is why we welcome the New Deal technological policy initiated by the Head of State.
For 22 years, the Supdeco Group has been actively contributing to the continent’s development by training an elite group of engineers and experts through ESITEC. This partnership with the Internet Society marks another step in our commitment to building a more inclusive digital future for all.
The cherry on top: our students will have the unique opportunity to become digital ambassadors, bringing knowledge to every corner of the country. Because access to knowledge should not be a privilege but a fundamental right.
