We note that the school year did not experience any major disruption, which allowed the smooth running of educational activities.
The reopening of establishments closed due to terrorism has allowed many students to return to school.
These different performances are to the credit of Education stakeholders who have been resilient despite the difficult context experienced by the region.
Likewise, the resumption of edu
cational activities in certain localities was possible thanks to the determination of the fighting forces to whom great tribute is paid and to the unfailing support of the administration which continues to support those involved in education. .
The Regional Director of Post-Primary and Secondary Education, Dr Denis Vimboué, congratulated the education actors who have been able to put forward the best interests of the Nation and in resilience have sacrificed themselves to raise the performance of the region.
He hoped that possible solutions would be found to curb the difficulties encountered during the school year which is ending.
