After a period of rapid economic growth following independence in the 1960s, the African

economy quickly took a hit and began to stagnate in the 1970s and 1980s. The African economy
has always been at the heart of controversy, and today we wonder why the country has not
developed rapidly despite its assets, decades after its independence. The beginning of the year
2000 saw an improvement in the situation by seeing several African countries experience a
slightly accelerated development, thus the notion of Africa Rising was born to illustrate the
economic growth of sub-Saharan Africa. Note that this is what pushed some authors like Paula
Heredia to create a film in 2009 entitled Africa rising to show also the positive points of this rise
as the fight against female genital mutilation which is not the case of media like the Guardian
which does not support this emergence of Africa. Have defined the story as the possible
evolution of Africa in different sectors. Despite some achievements, Africa still suffers from
several ills that gnaw at its heart the case of the Ivory Coast which is not unanimous with its
educational system knowing that Tunisia basing its education on technology is presented as a
literal example leads to the conclusion that the narrative of Africa rising is not well founded.

Indeed, the era of colonialism is over years ago many factors that let us believe that Africa follows
a development accelerate which is not the case, facts is to note that Africa is still suffering
because of its amateurism and its non-development.
The Ivory Coast, a country that is in the process of emergence, has serious problems with its
education. Education is a strong pillar of the development of a country and society, every person
has the right without distinction has the right to education in order to access the skills of life.
Reiterating the words, the education of the Ivory Coast does not reflect the development that the
country glorifies, the performance of the Ivorian education system is very low the country
accumulates low performance internationally. The latest news in an article published by "the
Editor" in 2017 informs us that the 2019-2020 report of the Program of Analysis of Educational
Systems (Pasec) has just fallen. Côte d'Ivoire, the leading economic power in the WAEMU area
which holds 34, 61% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this area, occupies the penultimate
place in the ranking of education systems in Francophone Africa. This paralysis has several
causes, including social and economic.
Firstly, the weakness lies in the completion of the first cycle, the transition from the first cycle to
the second cycle, and the completion of the second cycle. At this stage, young girls face several
difficulties such as harassment in schools, early pregnancies, forced marriages etc...
At the social level, the political activities do not cease to disrupt the courses, the pupils are all the
time afraid following the number of crises which knew the country. The political impasses are
presented like the first causes of the failure of the Ivorian educational system, it is the case of my
younger brother who does not manage to follow the courses perfectly because during the
electoral period the demonstrations did not cease multiplying on all the extent of the territory
thus causing the traumatism of certain child. Let's also remember that these demonstrations
caused several deaths in some localities. Moreover, one cannot talk about the Ivorian school
without noting the plethoric number of students in the classrooms. In Cote d'Ivoire the average
number of students per class in the primary cycle in public schools is 70 students. We can't
expect much from the children than bad school results and at the international level always, the
problem being linked to the lack of classrooms in the schools. Most of the primary school
classrooms are not lit, thus causing classes to stop as soon as it gets a little dark, yet the Ivorian
constitution since the year 2000 states that 44% of the country's budget must be reserved for
education. In addition, beyond the enrolment rate, there is the lack of human and material
resources in education. With regard to human resources, we note that
that the Ivorian education system is plagued by a shortage of personnel at all levels of
of education. This is due to the unequal distribution of available educational personnel within the

waiting for the State. These temporary shelters pose obvious problems of quality, added to that
the cheating in schools and the high rate of corruption in the country. Côte d'Ivoire ranks 106th
out of 180 countries worldwide in terms of public sector corruption, according to the 2019
Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) Report published Thursday by the NGO Transparency
International. The country occupied the 105th place in 2018, evidence from an article by APA
news in January 2020. Great authors such as Jacques Morisset support these statements in an
article published on Nazikiliza, a major African magazine, he argues that today, a young Ivorian
spends an average of 8 years on the benches of the school while students in emerging countries
spend nearly 14 years. Even more worrying, this gap has widened over time and the quality of
education has deteriorated. At the end of primary school, less than half of Ivorian students have
the required reading or mathematical skills. These few statistics illustrate the magnitude of the
effort required to make up for lost time, a challenge that the Ivorian authorities intend to take up
as the country embarks on the road to emergence. Despite the political will of the State,
according to its first article of the law number 95696 of September 7, 1995, which guarantees the
right to education to each citizen in order to enable him to acquire knowledge to develop his
personality, to raise his level of social, cultural and professional training and to exercise his
citizenship, this sector still suffers from enormous difficulties at all levels of education in Côte
d'Ivoire. The internal performance of the Ivorian education system is very low. This performance
is therefore worrying for the leaders of our country.

However, contrary to the Ivory Coast, the case of Tunisia allows us to believe that Africa is
developing; as a possibility to believe in the story of Africa rising . Tunisia has improved its
education by modernizing the working material through the use of ICT, this was not done in
one step and followed a process. 
To other African countries, Tunisia has reduced its poverty rate, since 2015 it is less than
10% unlike even comparing to countries like India and Indonesia which are respectively 58%
and 38% which makes Tunisia from the few African countries with a standard of living
comparable to the emerging payer with a GDP per capita equivalent to 10,000 USD PPP
(figure according to the OECD).  Moreover, with a stable standard of living and a developing
country, the accessibility to cell phones and computers which are becoming the
indispensable materials of education in Tunisia is of absolute ease. Through electronic
tablets and computers, students have access to an online library to facilitate document
sharing and access to online educational content. This allows an easy understanding for
students and improves schooling since school expenses will be minimized. This illustration
shows how Tunisia has reformed its education and the benefits that come out of it.
Secondly, it is also noted that thanks to its strong economic strength Tunisia has developed
an asset which is technology, industrialization in Tunisia has improved subsequently
attracting foreign investment and the financial presence of the state in the country's
business. According to the MPRA Tunisia invests 5.3% of its economy in ICT to obtain a
growth of 8.56%, even if these figures are small it shows the dedication of the country to
immerse itself fully in technological development. Férid Tounsi says that the ICT sector
represents more than 1800 companies in Tunisia. Tunisia has today three technoparks
oriented on ICT, the most important Technopark El Ghazala as well as 18 cyberparks entirely
dedicated to training and scientific and technological research. This is part of an ambitious
plan of the authorities, Tunisia Digital 2020, which aims to make the country an international
reference in digital by developing a fabric of competitive and innovative companies. The
multiplication of activities and ICT companies in the country has allowed companies such as
SSII which develops learning software used by the Tunisian government in school education.
Today, thanks to ICT, the teaching of life sciences and earth sciences, physics and chemistry
at all levels of secondary school is ensured by interactive digital support, noting the
integration of computer science subjects in the 3rd and 4th grades.

As a conclusion it is true that Africa is undergoing an improvement or some of its countries

have small changes but this does not mean that Africa is developing hence the notion of
Africa Rising is not realized or well founded Through an illustration by the difficulties that
meets powerful African countries like the Ivory Coast at the level of education moreover
which is not the only African country to know this kind of misery at the level of education. It
must rebuild some of its foundations, for example its education system using technology
following the model of Tunisia. Thus, in an article of internet news in 2015 the American
journalist Pegtyre advances "The revolution of personalized learning assisted by technology
promises an adapted teaching, allowing algorithms to continuously recalibrate learning to
meet the needs of students. All of this is to remind us that Africa has no growth at the
moment and needs to clean up its own house for a promising future, because growth in
particles does not mean global growth.
