Problem being solved
In Benin, school guidance is reduced to general classics. The lack of guidance, the unavailability and / or the lack of access to information on offers of technical and vocational training require learners who wish to take vocational courses to move towards the general and others to drop out of school. This, in spite of article 55 of the law n ° 2003-17 of November 11th, 2003 on the orientation of the national education in Benin which says: «the right to the guidance advice and to the information on the lessons and the professions makes integrating part.
Description of innovation
We have set up a communication, attractiveness and awareness system on EFTP (Teaching and Technical and Professional Training), in order to change the mentality of parents, teachers and learners on the image of EFTP (EFTP CONTINENTAL STRATEGY, African Union, p21) in Benin, in other words it is the paradigm shift at the level of the players involved. It contains the following tools: the GUIDE ETFP and the Film-Documentary the choice of the Future. The ETFP guide is a collection of accredited technical and vocational schools and centres in Benin with their training offers following detailed modules, access conditions, practical advice and opportunities. It allows the learner to know in advance what to expect after training as an income-generating activity, a guarantee of total empowerment. It allows each learner to make a succinct and profitable choice capable of providing him with self-employment immediately after his training. Innovation is the virtual version with the mobile app that accompanies the paper version. Aware of the stakes and influence of ICT, our organization has thought to make a mobile application compatible with smartphones and Android available to the Education System and the people of Benin to make it easier to access the ETFP Guide. This app is available on Play Store. Just go to Google Play Store and type EtFP Guide, download the app and install it on your phone. It is in agreement with the Government’s Programme of Action.
