Madagascar. «Digital School» – «Coders Initiative»: Education and training are the main future generations

I have been a journalist for over 40 years “Pli vava” it’s just that “Today’s children are the builders of the future”… I will not go into the depth of this sentence… But the reality of this time of the third thousand years is really gone “Destroyer of the Future” and the future of today’s youth in this issue of powerful drugs that seem to be sold like herbs in our country. I repeat here that the real brain of this network is not reached because it is not wanted. Or, researchers know that the power of money is still strong…

What is that “Education” already « Education »? It comes from the birth parents first. If the world is full of bad words, alcohol, cigarettes and smoke and the child hears and sees it, what will the nation expect from him? Whether it’s at home or in the community, especially in the world of « namada »… Following this is the belief in one and only God, whether Jewish, Christian or Muslim. But there are also people who believe in many gods… Schools fill these areas (Epp, Ceg, High School, University). There are always educators in these three fields. But when the dark spirit of “politics” falls, then… read and watch past and present news…


So are most parents unable to control their children or are the latter the ones who appear to be objects and do not listen to anyone other than their will? In any case, the parent who must take care of all citizens in a republican system is the State. But you need to be careful in understanding what I am saying. That’s enough “Caring State” already «Etat-Providence» was misinterpreted and destroyed this Madagascar. Because it gave birth to beggars and leaders who do what they want and “give” to those who flatter them.

The foundation of a country that has gone far is a people who have received a good basic education and training that is capable and far-reaching in accordance with the ever-changing reality. So when these Education and Training are neglected, this progress will be far away from Ra-Malagasy.

But at the beginning of the year 2024, the Rajoelina administration did not just watch in the palace, it has already developed a long-term vision, which emerged in Dubai, in Madagascar’s participation in the International Conference on Government (« World Governments Summit »). It is a matter of the future of Malagasy children and youth, and it is part of the Education and Training of the Malagasy generation. The project was divided into two main areas that are fully compatible with today’s new global technology.


Dubai, Wednesday 13 February 2024. This day was held on the sidelines of the International Conference on Government (« World Governments Summit »)the signing of the « Digital School ». What exactly is it?


The « Digital School » by SDigital school (or Digimerika) is one of the humanitarian movements established by « Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives(MBRGI), which aims to shape the future of global education through the use of modern technology to expand educational opportunities, using knowledge, latest experiments and systems that have been proven to be effective in developing a vision and a realistic perspective.

This is a huge step taken by President Rajoelina and the delegation he led in Dubai regarding this issue of the Digital world. And it’s not that we will wait for money from donors as usual, until now, when the strong delegation returns (and it was published in all the newspapers that “successful” the trip) but the money is not at hand…) but immediately it is added. Where, for example, are the billions of dollars requested by Rajaonarimampianina and Rivo Rakotovao in Paris on December 1 and 2, 2016? What was done?


If I looked deeply, it seems that I can imagine what President Rajoelina wanted to talk about, but he could not lie down because of the limited speaking role, because many Presidents came to attend the International Conference on Government in Dubai. this. But this is what I feel:

The planning of the Government of the Future requires the mobilization and commitment of all so that there are appropriate and concrete actions for it, to ensure that the decisions taken at the Assembly it will turn into a successful and promoting project for the benefit of the people.


In recent years, there has been the presence of the Government’s use of new technology, at all levels of administration and in public life. Through digital management, the government strengthens the efficiency of the state and the effectiveness of services for the public interest. Through the operation of public services, the Government ensures the emergence of digitalization, which is an opportunity to accelerate social and economic development.

Artificial intelligence (« Intelligence Artificielle » or IA) is increasing every day, and it has never happened before in the life of mankind. Its impact on society and the global economy makes it a major challenge that all Governments must face. Therefore, the Malagasy country must establish an effective way to control the ethical use of artificial intelligence to affect the interests of all, especially international peace and security.


The introduction of the technological revolution in the reform of government through the creation of a new economic model based on digitalization, is an important step to ensure the establishment of new economic and social opportunities for the development. However, this change will not be effective if it is not included in the different processes of all levels of society. The government cannot develop policies to promote investment and business creation unless it is completely determined, without excluding anyone, sustainable, responsible for the environment and the introduction of new technology is the basis of this policy.


We also need to recognize that economic growth and new technologies seem to be water and rice in the politics of developing cities. In recent years, it has been seen and felt that rapid demographic growth (population growth) has accelerated the development of urban policies in some countries. The emergence of new technologies has an impact on the Government’s decision to develop a modern country with infrastructure in line with its economic development. For some states, sustainable, healthy and non-discriminatory landscape design is the guarantee of society on the path of economic and social growth.


It’s up to all of you, today’s youth, to consider the Future you want your children to live. But for me personally, when you don’t move forward, you go backwards. It is now up to you young people -far from the politics of selfishness and pocket-filling- to examine whether the infrastructures that have been started by the Rajoelina administration are necessary or not. Just know first that this city of Dubai is a desert («Dessert»), 30 years ago.

The reason? Nominees or elected officials are not given a new 4X4, but the cars of their successors are used. The amount of money to buy it will allow us to develop many areas… And it should be a car «Karenjy» should be paid for high-ranking civil servants in Madagascar.

Yes, even the Parliamentarians (National Assembly and Senate) should buy a car «Karenjy», first gradually if possible. This is not an advertisement, Sir, but a true national anthem.
