According to a statement Senegal's ministry of education has partnered with Samsung to provide an advanced and interactive classroom experience for learners.

The classrooms are equipped with a monitoring and controlling feature, which allows teachers to keep track of educational content on their learners' screen and a real-time question-and-answer feature.

"The future of education is about accessing information and collaborating locally and globally. Teaching and learning has become social; this has become possible with the emergence of initiatives such as the Samsung Smart School," said Samba Guisse, IT advisor, human resources department at the ministry of National Education in Senegal.
