According to Burkina Information Agency, the specialties of weaving, sewing, and women's hairdressing saw varying success rates.

The chairman of jury 153, Yacouba Serm©, expressed satisfaction with these results, acknowledging the challenging working conditions in Tougan.

Pierre Zan, head of the examinations and competitions department at the provincial directorate in charge of Secondary Education and Vocational and Technical Training, noted that the low success rate in women's hairdressing might be attributed to its status as a new specialty in the province. He commended the collaborative efforts of trainers and supervisors and congratulated the successful candidates while urging those who did not pass to remain determined.
