To©c©: Primary school students in the municipality of To©c© have been given essential lessons in road safety, thanks to an initiative led by local security staff and supported by the VDP school project's sub-project titled "The Road Without a Doubt."

According to Burkina Information Agency, the event took place at the To©c© "A" public primary school, where students from the "A" and "B" center schools gathered to learn about the fundamental rules of road safety. This educational effort is aimed at promoting civic values among students by enhancing their understanding of traffic regulations.

During the sessions, security officers instructed students on the importance of obeying traffic signals, safely crossing roads, and wearing helmets while on the road. Following the theoretical lessons, students, accompanied by their teachers, were given the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge on national road no. 5, a significant route connecting Ouagadougou to the P´-Ghana border that runs through To©c©.

The initiative aims to protect the most vulnerable road users and was met with enthusiasm by both students and municipal authorities. Dikodogo/Compaor© Marie, the school director, expressed her commitment to integrating the knowledge gained into regular classroom activities.

Madi Ou©draogo, representing the Nazinon Regional Police Director, emphasized the importance of understanding road safety language, noting that "the road speaks to us." He assured the public of law enforcement's ongoing support in road safety matters.

Harouna Nana, President of the special delegation of the commune of To©c©, highlighted the significance of this initiative, particularly given the busy nature of the national road no. 5 that passes through the commune. The students expressed satisfaction with the lessons, viewing them as valuable insights into civic responsibility.
