On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the General Inspectorate of National Education IGEN officially launched a training program on artificial intelligence AI applied to education, in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training MENFOP and the International Organization of La Francophonie OIF. The initiative marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation of Djibouti's education system.
The training forms part of the 2025-2026 Annual Continuing Education Plan and targets all educational inspectors within MENFOP. Its primary objective is to enhance inspectors' competencies in the ethical, pedagogical, and professional use of AI, ensuring that technology is harnessed to improve supervision, training, and educational decision-making processes.
The program is being led by Dr. Houssein Ahmed Assowe, Director of the Center for Research in Mathematics and Digital Technology and Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Djibouti. It combines theoretical modules with case studies and hands-on workshops, allowing participants to explore how AI tools can be effectively integrated into educational management and classroom practices.
