Educational Management in Mali: KalanGest as a tool for decolonizing administrative practices

Résumé

As part of efforts to decolonise and Africanise education in Mali, this article explores the implementation of KalanGest, a technological solution for the management of basic schools. The solution aims to improve school administration while integrating and promoting local knowledge and practices in the education system. Using a qualitative approach and UML modelling with PHP, KalanGest was designed to reduce administrative tasks and strengthen the Africanisation of education. Tests at the Debou Gneri basic school showed promising management results while respecting and promoting Malian standards.
