Edoovillage #2578 - Burundi, Bujumbura: Youth Empowerment through Computer Education (YECE)

In Burundi the training and facilities offered in traditional schools and colleges have simply not caught up with the information age. In tragedy, the computer classes offered by these expensive schools do not adequately prepare graduates for such position. Often, within the school and college system, there are no facilities for this budding population to learn how to use computers to obtain any form of computer skills. At graduation, the majority of student have never used a computer, let alone received any vocational training education. Inexperience with computer technology narrows one job market. In Burundi due to lake of accessibility of computers, teachers teaches computer classes on a blackboard because there are no actual computers ton use, therefore, this education still theoretical and not practical
There are four different classes of students at different points of training. Shifts runs on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays, or on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Classes are held from 9: 30-11: 30 pm-2pm, and from 3:00 pm to 5: 15pm every day.
