"Our goal for the next two years is to build a new campus in the North of Abidjan. We intend to invest a substantial amount to build a university that is expected to hold between 4,000 to 5,000 students. In this regard, we would like to be helped by partners: of course Pigier France, African universities in order to exchange students, but also universities from Asia and America, that can supervise us and help us. For example, there is a quite new project that we don’t know well yet, which is the teleconference. We hope to have the support of foreign universities to participate in teleconferences. There are distance education programs for which we intend to benefit from the knowledge of our partners to enhance the education of those who cannot always travel to come to Abidjan. We also have this vast new field, which is MOOCs. We plan to invest in MOOCs and we look forward to working with partners in this field. MOOCs are educational systems that allow students to have courses and pass exams remotely", says Jérémie N'Gouan.
