The Minister of Education and Technical Education, Kandia Camara, announced that teacher training in information technology is a prioritised area at launch of a three year programme to solve these shortcomings. About 6000 teachers will be included in the programme that is a part of the UNESCO-CFIT-project. The Minister of Education claims that the previous weaknesses in knowledge of ICT are now an obstacle to exercise the teacher profession.
