Togo's Ministry of National Education trained 101 newly recruited teachers as 'Fabmanagers' to run FabLab innovation spaces teaching AI, robotics, coding, IoT and 3D printing in colleges and science lycées across all seven educational regions, starting August 2026.
In August 2026, Togo's Ministry of National Education, led by Minister Mama Omorou, launched a nationwide FabLab and CRIT (technological innovation resource centre) programme to bring hands-on AI, robotics, coding, Internet-of-Things and 3D-printing instruction into public colleges and scientific lycées.
Build teacher capability to run FabLabs and teach AI-adjacent STEM subjects, extending access to hands-on technology education beyond the capital Lomé to all seven of Togo's educational regions.
101 newly recruited teachers, selected through the national teacher-recruitment competition, were trained as 'Fabmanagers' at the Institut national de formation et de perfectionnement professionnels (INFPP) in Lomé, combining two weeks of general pedagogical preparation with one month of specialised instruction in operating FabLabs and teaching AI-adjacent STEM subjects, before deployment to colleges and scientific lycées across all seven regions. A parallel cohort of over 1,100 newly recruited teachers received a shorter two-week orientation covering digital transformation, robotics, coding and AI alongside reinforced mathematics and physics, running simultaneously across all seven regions from 10 to 24 August 2026.
No independent measurement of student learning outcomes has been published; the documented evidence covers programme design, teacher-training completion and geographic deployment rather than downstream impact on pupils.
The programme has a durable institutional home (national teacher-recruitment pipeline plus the existing public INFPP training institute) and deliberately reaches beyond the capital, but is only weeks old with no classroom-impact evidence yet.
