In this paper, we propose a system dynamics model to deal with the main factors which influence critically the education and training of computer personnel in African developing countries (ADC). In the model, the needs of industry for skilled computer personnel are determined. According to these needs the required education infrastructure and facilities are provided and the appropriate number of students and professors are planned and educated. Factors like standard of living of the population and resources allocated by the organizations for worker training are taken into account in the model because of the importance of their influence on the results of the education and training system. The model will allow the managers of IT field to design and select the more appropriate policies to match the education and training requirement of the computer personnel in the country.
