Educational Management in Mali: KalanGest as a tool for decolonizing administrative practices
Keywords:
decolonise, administrative tasks, primary schools, KalanGest, africanisation of educationAbstract
As part of efforts to decolonise and Africanise education in Mali, our project explores the implementation of 'KalanGest', an innovative technological solution for the management of basic schools. This solution aims not only to improve school administration, but also to integrate and promote local knowledge and practices in the education system. Using a qualitative approach and UML modeling with PHP language, 'KalanGest' was designed to reduce administrative tasks and strengthen the Africanization of education. Tests at the Debou Gneri basic school showed significant management, while respecting and promoting Malian standards. Prospects for 'KalanGest' include the integration of online courses and payment systems, aiming to sustainably improve access to quality education while contributing to the decolonization of knowledge in West Africa
