The document outlines a vision for the EPT afronum Networking School in Cameroon with the goals of developing connectivity, strengthening student efficiency, and establishing a nationwide school support network. The school aims to gradually eliminate communication problems in schools, develop e-learning in rural primary schools, and provide basic IT skills from primary to professional networking levels while securing rural information access and teaching IT to youth at low cost. Currently, Cameroonian schools lack vital communication infrastructure and basic IT design, resulting in ineffective education. The proposed school will be a top-level networking and telecommunications school specialized in Linux and open to students and employees seeking networking careers.
