Based on the results recorded, the CCEB expressed optimism regarding the expected performance in the official examinations. "The statistics from these assessments allow us to hope for good results, provided that efforts continue," he stated.
The head of the CEB praised the commitment of the various educational stakeholders and urged them to maintain the momentum in order to further improve academic performance. During the discussions, several practical tips and shared experiences were formulated for the benefit of CM2 teachers, particularly on the pedagogical approaches to prioritize during this final phase of preparation. Educational supervisors particularly stressed the need for synergy between teachers, school leaders and learners to ensure better results.
According to Mr. Kabre, "no actor in the education system should be left out of this collective preparation." On the sidelines of this meeting, the head of the district also recalled the implementation of the artistic and cultural month, initiated by the Ministry of Basic Education, Literacy and the Promotion of National Languages (MEBAPLN), inviting school directors to fully invest themselves in it for the success of this reform.
