The Direction Nationale de Contrôle de la Paie et de maîtrise des Effectifs des Enseignants et du personnel administratif (DINACOPE) has begun a two-day workshop on digitalizing teacher monitoring in Kasaï Central 1 province. The training, which started on September 25, 2026, aims to equip agents with digital tools to collect and transmit data efficiently. The workshop is taking place at the Athénée Royal de la Renaissance in Kananga.

The initiative seeks to replace traditional paper-based monitoring with digital tablets, streamlining data transmission and reducing delays. According to the Director Provincial of DINACOPE/Kasaï Central 1, this move is a significant step towards modernizing the monitoring process. He emphasized that digitalization will enable rapid transmission of information, reducing the reliance on paper-based systems.

The digital tool being introduced is a powerful, rapid, and highly secure software designed to facilitate efficient data collection and transmission. The Director Provincial encouraged participants to familiarize themselves with the new technology and use it effectively to avoid errors that could negatively impact teachers. He stressed the importance of accuracy, noting that mistakes can have far-reaching consequences for individuals and institutions.

The workshop brings together representatives from the provincial direction, city branches, and all DINACOPE antennas in Kasaï Central 1 province. Participants will learn how to use tablets and software to collect and transmit data, ensuring a smooth transition from traditional methods. This training is part of DINACOPE's efforts to enhance its operations and improve the education sector.
