Today, we had the pleasure of having a good and thorough discussion about the current state of the education sector in The Gambia. Mr Musa O. Mendy, who has had a long career in Gambian education administration, and Lamin Keita, the principal of FSNG School, were present as guests of the GGG project representatives.
Mr Mendy is the director of EMMA School. He is very satisfied with the level of the computers that have already been delivered. The devices are expensive and a tempting target for theft in a poor country, so security aspects must be taken into account.
Future Starts Now Gambia School, on the other hand, is considering the challenges facing the school's new location and the rise in prices. The challenging global situation is also reflected in The Gambia.

There are also positive signs for the future. FSNG School is involved in a project funded by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Finnpartnership), which makes it possible to start occupational safety training in The Gambia. This would be a new step for the school and is possible now that the level of teacher competence has been able to be developed thanks to the Global Grant Gambia project.
