How one engineer’s implementation and innovation-first approach is strengthening credibility and scale in under-resourced schools

By Norbert Wasso

Lynne Yenwo doesn’t use the word ‘transformation’ lightly. As an Infrastructure Engineer at Barclays and Chief Technology Officer of Mike Denny International Institute of Excellence in Yaoundé, she has spent years implementing solutions that most people never see but that determine whether an institution can be trusted, scaled, and held to account. The school, which began with five students, now serves hundreds and has continued to post strong results in national examinations as enrolment has grown. It has since secured international affiliation through the Flexi Academy Programme, and its model is now being studied and replicated by other institutions in Cameroon. None of that happened by accident. We spoke with Yenwo about the thinking behind the systems, the lessons she’s carried over from engineering, and what she believes many education technology efforts get wrong.

Lynne Yenwo

Q: Having started your work with the institution early in your career, how did your engineering background influence the way you approached its challenges?

L.Y.: My involvement with the institution began before I formally completed my engineering training, which gave me a unique vantage point. As I developed professionally, I started to view the institution through a systems lens. What stood out to me was that the challenges weren’t fundamentally educational, they were operational. There were complex workflows, fragmented data, and processes that didn’t scale well. Those are the same types of problems I work on in infrastructure environments. So I approached the institution the same way: by implementing systems that could bring structure, consistency, and reliability to how things were done.

Q: What was the core problem you were trying to solve when you began this work?

L.Y.: Most institutions struggle not because they lack technology, but because their systems are not structured to support accountability and verification. There was a great deal of manual processing, disintegrated records, and no reliable way to produce data quickly when it was needed. The goal was to create a system that could withstand external scrutiny, one built for transparency and long-term integrity, not merely day-to-day convenience.

Q: That led to the implementation of Simpala. Can you describe what it is and what it was designed to do?

L.Y.: Simpala is a centralised digital platform that manages academic records, administrative workflows, reporting, and institutional communication. But I think of it less as software and more as an infrastructure layer. It was designed to give the institution real-time access to data, protect record integrity over time, and create operational transparency so leadership can make decisions based on facts rather than estimates. At Mike Denny, I implemented it around the school’s real workflows and added innovation; who can enter, review, and publish records, so it supports scale and accountability, not just convenience.

Q: The institution pursued international accreditation during this period. How did the system factor into that process?

L.Y.: Accrediting bodies require multi-year academic records, verified student performance data, and documented evidence of consistent oversight. For institutions relying on manual systems, producing that kind of documentation efficiently is extremely difficult. Through the systems I implemented, the school could produce complete and verifiable records immediately, a process that would otherwise take days, or in some cases, simply could not be done reliably.

Q: Beyond accreditation, what has the measurable impact been on day-to-day operations?

L.Y.: Administrative processing time has been reduced by approximately 65 per cent. Tasks that previously required ten to twelve hours per week are now completed in three to four hours. That is not a small shift. It means educators and administrators are spending their time on instruction and strategic planning rather than paperwork. The institution described it well: the systems did not simply make their work faster, they changed how the institution operates entirely.

Q: The school has grown from five students to hundreds, while continuing to post strong results on national examinations. How do you account for that?

L.Y.: Growth typically introduces operational strain. If your systems are not built to handle that complexity, performance declines – you see it consistently in rapidly scaling institutions. The goal from the beginning was to ensure that growth and quality could coexist. That requires building for scale before you need it, not after problems have already emerged.

Q: Your work appears to be influencing other institutions beyond this one school. What does that tell you?

L.Y.: It tells me the problem is not unique to one institution. Administrative fragmentation and data limitations are common challenges across education systems in similar environments. What stands out to the institutions studying this work is not merely the technology itself, but the structure behind it: the innovation model, the data architecture, and the operational logic. That is what makes it transferable.

Q: What would you say to policymakers or education leaders in emerging markets who are evaluating how to invest in educational technology?

L.Y.: I would say access to devices or software alone isn’t enough. The real work is working with systems that are structured, reliable, and built on accurate, well-managed data. Education systems need to be developed with the same level of care and intentional design as essential infrastructure, because they play just as critical a role. The institutions that meet international standards aren’t simply the ones with the most technology, but the ones with systems that are consistent, organized, and dependable.

Q: What comes next for this work?

L.Y.: We continue to focus on long-term scalability and broader applicability. The systems I implemented were never intended to remain limited to a single institution. The goal is to demonstrate that with the right structure in place, high standards are achievable anywhere, and to make that approach accessible to institutions that need it.

A Cameroonian tech startup, Visionary Technologies Company, VTC, has relaunched its
innovative solution dubbed Scholar Information Management System, SIMS®, a learning and
school management app built to enable distant learning, accessible 24/7 anytime, anywhere.
The relaunching of this e-learning app is in response to one of the 13 measures published by
the Cameroon Government, March 27, 2020, to fight against coronavirus (COVID-19); the
promotion of the use of Education Technology as a means of education. The outbreak of the
pandemic has undoubtedly changed the operating system of countries the world over, with
businesses, churches and even schools shut down, leaving over half a billion learners out of
school for the first time ever in an attempt to reduce the spread of the virus.
Though the first time the Cameroon Government is openly encouraging the use of e-learning,
this learning method has so far proven itself as stable and effective in countries already
applying it, with the help of newly developed tech learning platforms.
Inspired by the challenges faced by school in Cameroon, SIMS was conceived with an
objective to combine a multitude of solutions to tackle the problems facing the education
system in Africa.

SIMS® (Scholar Information Management System) an AI-powered innovative learning and school management app designed to provide learners , educators and administrators  with a single robust, secure and integrated system to create blended or personalized  and remote learning accessible 24/7 anytime anywhere.

 

 

 

The app currently comprises two major features, with dozens of
functionalities in each.  SIMS® simulates a real-world class room, where students can login
and get classes and lectures, and teachers upload videos and lectures so that students in
every classes can study and be promoted to the next class, just like it is done in a normal
classroom scenario.

  1. The SIMS® Learner simulates the traditional classroom with features built to enable the same
    teacher-student exchange. Here, learners login and get access to lectures through videos
    and notes uploaded by teacher; get evaluated and promoted to the next class.
    Providing school programmes like Cameroon General Education Exams( G.C.E), Baccalaureate, University Degree programs in rich content, a built-in networking for teacher-student interactions, file
    sharing and assignment grading has been ensured, with a live chat room.
  2. The SIMS® Manager, on its part, is a secure efficient management portal for schools to
    manage invoices and auto reconcile fees payment, with other operations like timetables and
    report card generations, fees collection, a database of all teachers and students, also including
    communication facilities. The App has been tested, and is currently being used by two schools
    with proof of efficiency. The SIMS project will improve on education for learners, as well as
    support and develop teachers. It will also collect the definitive data set on education in Africa
    for better policies.
    The first version of the learning platform (SIMS®) was launched in 2017 in an effort to lend an
    intervening arm in the education problem caused by the Anglophone crisis in the Northwest
    and Southwest regions. It was however, put on hold due to insufficient funding and the lack of
    qualified human resource, which unfortunately is still the case.

It is to be noted that the SIMS® project is a community project and flagship product of VTC
which recently won a 5000 USD in seed funding from Tony Elumelu Foundation 2019, and also won West Africa’s Innovation Awards 2019; AWARD CATEGORY: Most Customer- Focused Digital Marketing Company of the Year, ICT Leadership Category.

As we fight the coronavirus pandemic, it is there-for open for every interested party; be it volunteers, angel investors or goodwill ambassadors to join the already existing team, who are doing everything possible not to only beat the current crisis by bringing education beyond
walls through SIMS®, but also contributing in achieving United Nation’s SDG4 (Sustainable Development Goal four): Quality Education, not only for Cameroon but Africa and beyond.

Francis Fon Teboh ( www.francfon.me), a young Cameroonian Technology Entrepreneur is amongst the finest in the country, as his innovative app known as SIMS® that works even without internet access and or smart phones, is being acclaimed by many as a solution to the dilemma surrounding education in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon.

SIMS® vision, according to the great mind, is for it to be the world’s largest learning platform designed to provide learners (students, business owners, etc.), educators and administrators with a single robust, secured and integrated system to create personalized learning environments.

It is an innovative education technology platform that helps to identify, create and connect all learners with the resources and tools needed to reach their full education, career & business potential with & without internet access.

Just like an Antivirus, the Cross platform application SIMS® works almost free of charge and without internet connectivity.

SIMS®, expected to be launched next month, is capable of helping actors learn, teach and take exams even from their bedroom simply with their smartphones or computers.

Speaking to The SUN recently, Teboh explained that he became inspired by the challenges he faced decades ago as well as the on-going crisis, which caused him to drop out of school to create a company that created an app which now makes others learn anywhere, anytime. “Education is the only tool to solving the puzzles of the Universe” TEBOH averred.

The app focuses on addressing problems such as:

• Lack of real time career orientation especially for university students in developing countries

• Inadequate rich-educational & customized learning resources in developing countries

• Lack of unique collaborative platform between learners of same educational institutions in or out of school for research & brainstorming

• Poor administration of schools by proprietors, administrators or managers.

Currently SIMS® is made up of the following:

SIMS® Learner-Learning app & tablet for students & teachers in developing countries especially in war or crisis areas like the NW/SW;

SIMS® Manager-School Information Management System for school professionals;

SIMS® Business- A learning App for Entrepreneurs, SME Owners & Professionals to learn the skills they need in businesses, their career and or jobs without leaving their respective environments and at their own pace;

SIMS® Lab: A Virtual Reality Eye Glass to be used by students or learners in developing countries to get real time experience in laboratory learning and so on. With this, students in Africa could diagnose animals, etc. in real time using Virtual Reality.

Two educational Institutions in Cameroon have been benefiting from SIMS Manager already for more than 2 years. “As a proprietor, even while I travel out of Douala/Cameroon, I am able to manage my school using SIMS Manager”, Frederic Tchouta-Proprietor, Groupe Bilingue Scholaire La Fierte Kotto says.

SIMS® is a community project and flagship product of VTC which recently won a 5000 USD seed funding from Tony Elumelu Foundation 2019.

VTC www.vtc.cm , it should be recalled is an innovation-centered company that designs, develops, and coordinates digital technology solutions that solve real societal, industrial & business problems.

Founded in Buea early 2012, operations later moved to Douala in 2015 where it was legally registered and has so far served close to 500 clients mostly SMEs within Cameroon and a few abroad VTC now prides herself as one of TOP IT companies attracting multinationals as clients and has recently been nominated for best Tech companies in the AB Afrikpreneur Awards 2019.

Its CEO, Francis Fon Teboh was in 2016 selected “Top 100 Hitech entrepreneurs by Israeli Embassy in Cameroon 2016”, and he is amongst one hundred and two Cameroonians selected to take part in the 5th cycle of the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme to be organized in Abuja, Nigeria.

Concerning the SIMS® app, TEBOH says “For now, I need investment to complete it and to market it not only in Cameroon but all crisis areas or allover Africa”.

A team of dedicated young Cameroonians grouped under the World Spark Your Talents have taken  One of Africa’s most popular sports, known affectionately as ‘dodging’ to the next level. Dodging has been made digital and plans are far afoot to professionalise and brand the sport.

Initiators of the digital platform have already begun lobbying to ensure the game is given a place in local, national and international competitions across Africa and the World. Dodging is an African indigenous sport from time immemorial.

It is said to be very popular in regions like Central and West Africa with a peculiar case of Cameroon where it is often played by girls in schools and in the local communities.  Boys however often feature in the sport but are not dominant.

“Over the years, the sport, though full of energy, has been relegated and abandoned,” a team of young Information Technology, IT experts, headed by King David Fontawah Tse, said in a statement.

Dodging Sports $ Games (DSG), they say, is an organisation that is aimed at rebranding and presenting this sport to the present generation.

“From random sampling, the energy involved coupled with the excitement generated, we believe it should be an inclusive sport. Given the fact that a lot of physical display of tactics, strength and smartness can be employed, we encourage males to participate and bring out the energy of this sport,” added promoters of the game.

“This is aimed at professionalising this sport and also providing a platform where the mobile community can be engaged through the dodging game application,” they also said.

DSG, the IT experts stated further, is committed to creating dodging clubs locally and internationally. “We are at the level of mobilising communities and personalities to create teams which shall participate in different competitions across national and international territories. We are also working to see that dodging is played as a professional sport globally in club and world tournaments” they said.

With respect to Cameroon, they have engaged a process of making the sport inclusive in the school curricula across all the educational levels and sectors ranging from primary schools to universities.

“We are also creating an enabling strategy which can get this sport included in FENASCO game, regional and national competitions. It will be our pleasure to engage our African communities to actively participate in bringing this vision alive by adopting this sport,” they said.

They added: “Dodging has the ability to compete with other games, especially with the energy and tension it builds during the process. Dodging is the only indigenous African sport that has the capacity to be played in an open field like a stadium of 100, 000+ spectators and we are working towards making it a reality. It is going to be a collective effort in projecting our home sports world wide. We are calling on the general public to support in whatever way possible to give this dream a life by actively engaging in all the activities that will be set in place”.

“…our objective is to reintroduce and rebrand our own games which tell our stories and represent our collective identity. This game will help maintain a historical connection between the older, younger and future generations,” they said of the dodging game.

They add that: “In achieving this, we have developed a game which will run from several versions till the maximum satisfaction is met. This game is branded “World Dodging Sport” (WDS). It is a game we seek to communicate the emotions of the local street players to the entire world. Taking into consideration that this present generation have drifted from what use to be a form community and youthful entertainments by embracing the glitz that comes with internet and technology. This sport is played over Africa but presently the percentage and euphoria surrounding this game is lost. So our objective is to reintroduce and rebrand our own games which tell our stories and represent our collective identity. This game will help maintain a historical connection between the older, younger and future generations.”

Paul Mbua said if the entrepreneurs succeed in the pitch in Nigeria, it will help them take their businesses to another level and they will have a chance of getting up to 40million investment from other investors who might be interested in their ideas and potentials.
According to him, the startups will also get to meet strategic partners and other investors which will help expose them to the world. He added that no matter the outcome however, it is still a big move by the youths to embrace their skills and pursue them.
After the pitch by the two startups and debates, the two entrepreneurs expressed their joy for being selected and their aspirations for their trip to Nigeria. According to Nemoh Siona Ndip CEO/Co-founder of Yumzie Snails, she feels excited with her pitch, taking into consideration that it is her first time to do a pitch and there were some lapses.
“I think Zixtech Hub is a diversified entrepreneurial platform where youths showcase their talents and ideas. Zixtech is pushing and teaching youths what they ought to be and equally exposing them to the world for big investments”, she said.
On his part, the CEO/founder of Trans Delivery limited, Nyomi Blaise said the pitch was an amazing experience for him and it is something he encourages every startup to go through because it pushes them to work harder. He called on entrepreneurs to join Zixtech Hub for better opportunities.

Zixtech Organisation designates two startups to represent Cameroon in Nigeria
The CEO of Zixtech mentioned that the organization has been able to train over 5000 people since its creation and through them, 50 companies or enterprises have been created in the country.
Paul Mbua therefore called on youths to follow their dreams and wipe the fact of entrepreneurship being a taboo topic in their minds. He said anyone can be an entrepreneur and just need training to handle issues and how to face challenges.

Over 30 youths have been trained in digital marketing during a one-month training program. According to the Chief executive officer of Zixtech organization, Paul Babila Mbua, the training is an avenue to build up the capacity of young people in terms of skills development because skills development and self-development is the future of Africa.
He added that the training is the result of a partnership with Google and starup crime and they are to build the next generation of digital marketers in Cameroon and Africa.
Quizzed on why the training, Mbua said the training originated from the fact that, there are lots of young people starting up small business and also there are businesses that do not have access to the internet. With almost two billion people active on Facebook every day, he sees the platform as a huge resource for entrepreneurs.
“I think it is a great platform where you can get to market and sell yourself,“ Paul Babila told reporters.
He added that, in order for someone to sell and market his or her self not only nationally but internationally, they need to gain the right skills as professionals and to be trained in the various techniques on how to be professional digital marketers.
Mbua said the training focuses not only on Internet but also gives them skills on social media marketing like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, twitter among others. Quizzed on who is qualified for the training, he said they look at people who have small businesses but lack the push in order to get their products out to customers.
Quizzed on the opportunities of digital marketing Mbua said it is one of the well-paid jobs en vogue. He added that anyone having the skills has a lot of companies not only nationally but internationally to work with.
Babila Mbua however calls on the youths not to sit down saying there are no jobs. He said with the internet, one can sit and work for someone abroad because there is a great potential in digital marketing since even those selling clothes or shoes need the skills of digital marketers to better enhance what they are doing to provide them with opportunities throughout the world.

WhatsApp is gradually becoming very influential in the Cameroonian society today like in most part of the world due to its proven confidentiality advantage of end-to-end encryption. As many mobile internet users have embraced this version of social media platform to share information, it has inevitably led to the creation of whatsapp groups of varied themes and interests.

Achille Kamga

While members of most WhatsApp groups find pleasure in commenting or reading silently posts from other members, the task is rather a tedious one for the administrators of such chat groups commonly referred today as “super scale civil administrators without borders” because unlike Governors, Senior Divisional Officers or Divisional Officers whose competence are limited to a specific territorial space, their powers transcend continents as their “subjects” are recruited worldwide.

Larinette Aparjie

Achille kamga, journalist with Le Messager Newspaper and administrator of “Redactions Info” admitted to The SUN that “administering a WhatsApp group for the sharing of information among over 136 journalists is not an easy task. I use diplomacy and tact to keep colleagues together in my group especially as I need to call to order members who are derailing others from our topic of discussion. I reach out to them inbox explaining to them that my action is intended to save the group and if the person refuses to cooperate, I temporary or permanently remove the person from the group depending on the gravity of the act committed.”
On how he came about with the issue of a daily debate theme, Achille Kamga said “we decided to introduce a debate to make our forum busy and interesting given that news does not happen each hour of the day. The themes as proposed by members are focused on latest news and we carry out the debate in total responsibility.”
The story is not the same for a group reserved exclusively for female journalists in Cameroon created in December 2017 by the administrator, Larinette Aparjie Abongwa, journalist working with STV in Yaounde. She recounts to The SUN that “Though our group is still very young, we do not intend to remain a virtual platform as we are already working towards the organization of our first physical gathering, that is, a general assembly in March 2018.”
On why she reserved the group only for female journalists, Larinette Aparjie Abongwa explained that “You know that first of all as female and as press ladies, we have our challenges given that many people are very skeptical about what becomes of the life of a female journalist due to the fact that the job is so challenging. Our members are active practicing journalists who are motivated to become women and at the same time stay firm in their profession. We know that it is not easy to go out very early in the morning and to return late at night and at the same time aspire to manage homes.”
Larinette Aparjie concluded on an optimistic note that, their coming together will help secure training opportunities and other advantages for them as female journalists.
