At Least 11,000 Schoolchildren Return to Education in Loroum Province.

Loroum: At least 11,000 schoolchildren return to school The High Commissioner of the province of Loroum, Djibril Bassolé, launched the start of the school year in Titao on Monday, November 18, 2024. The various combined initiatives enabled more than 10,000 primary school children and 1,300 secondary school children to return to school. It was at the head of a delegation of administrative officials, technical services, customary, religious and associative leaders that the High Commissioner of the province of Loroum, Djibril Bassolé, launched the start of the school year in the city of Titao on the morning of Monday, November 18, 2024.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the delegation toured educational institutions to celebrate education. At the primary level, the provincial authority launched the start of the school year at the Watinoma public primary school located in sector 3. As for the post-primary and secondary levels, it was in front of a crowd of students at the foot of the flag that Mr. Bassolé
launched the start of the school year on the site of the Loroum provincial high school after having attended the raising of the colors. The delegation then went to the Titao CEG in sector 6 where 3 rooms were opened to relieve congestion on the high school site. For this school year, approximately 11 sites have been opened for primary education.

These sites will accommodate a little over 10,000 students. At the post-primary and secondary levels, around twenty classes are open on two sites to accommodate around 1,300 students. At all stages, High Commissioner Bassolé congratulated the direct and indirect actors of education. He encouraged them in their resilience. It was a great opportunity for the authority to transform itself into a teacher for a day through civics and patriotism lessons given to students. Since December 2021, the worsening security situation in Loroum province has put educational continuity to the test.

However, the resilience of the actors has kept the torch of education burning. On Nove
mber 7, 2024, a secure convoy allowed several people and services to reach Titao by road, thus leading to the opening of several education sites for the benefit of students.
