Abstract
This case study of in-school cyber clubs in Dakar, Saint-Louis, Thiès, Fatick, Kaolack, Kolda and Ziguinchor (Senegal) reports on objectives that aimed to improve teaching/learning and family life education (FLE) and club management in a number of intermediate and secondary schools. Vigorous efforts were made to train the users of the cyber clubs; however, this was hindered by lack of computers for group training, and sufficient numbers of qualified trainers to meet the growing demand from students. However, the study shows that teachers and students are capable of collecting material from external sites and adapting the material to their specific needs in teaching/learning.
