Phase I: Assessment Full Situation Analysis of:

Infrastructure Human resources Connectivity Beneficiaries of the existing IT clubs Learning needs and gaps Social/culture environment Potential partners

SWOT Analysis for each of the three tracks

NDN Establishment


Phase I: Assessment Track 1: Pre-University Education

Findings Decisions

There are 28 Technology Development Centers (TDCs) affiliated to the Ministry of Education (MoE) and located in the 27 governorates of Egypt.

ELCC needs to take advantage of the existing 28 TDCs.

The Egyptian Education Initiative (EEI) has a pool of 2,000 schools that are geographically spread all over Egypt.

Schools will be chosen from the existing pool of EEI’s 2,000 school.

MoE IT clubs are not efficiently equipped to play the role of Regional Academies.

A new Academy model should be developed jointly between ELCC & Cisco.

Phase I: Assessment Track 2: Higher Education

Findings Decisions IT clubs report to Universities’ Vice

president for community services. A top-down approach to be implemented.

300 IT clubs are distributed among 17 universities.

Academies will start in all 17 universities through the existing universities’ training centers.

A pilot is the best scenario to start the project.

5 IT clubs will be chosen by the MoHE to start the program.

Each of the 17 existing universities has a training center.

We should make use of the existing 17 training centers to train the IT Clubs instructors.

ELCC will train and qualify the 17 training centers who will take the responsibility to train the 85 IT Clubs.

MoHE IT clubs are not efficiently equipped to play the role of Regional Academies.

A new Academy model should be developed jointly between ELCC & Cisco.

NDN Establishment


Phase I: Assessment Track 3: Lifelong Learning

Findings Decisions

The Lifelong Learning market in Egypt lacks awareness of the concept and the benefits of LLL..

A marketing plan shall be developed by Cisco and will be part of “Egypt1000 NetAcad-Track 3.

Academies starter kits, academy recruitment workshops, student recruitment and incentives, sustainability road show.

Most potential students are not proficient in English and prefer to have learning material in Arabic.

IT Essentials should be translated in Arabic and localized.
