In the current context of the Democratic Republic of Congo, education is a crucial issue for the development of the country. Despite the challenges faced by the education system, the administrative political authorities continue to work to ensure the solidity of education in the DRC.
Through the ENAFEP test, the students of Kasaï showed their commitment. This is an encouraging sign for the future of education in the DRC. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to improve the quality of education and guarantee the development of an entire people.
Other news in the DRC, such as the extraordinary summit of the East African Community or the investigation into crimes against humanity in the province of Lituiri, also highlight the challenges facing the DRC.
Despite these obstacles, significant progress has been made in key areas such as security, justice, the food crisis, entrepreneurship and peacebuilding. Citizen movements have also mobilized for the release of political prisoners and to end the dictatorship in the DRC.
The appointment of Julienne Lusenge as deputy coordinator of the national monitoring mechanism for the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement is a step forward for the representation of women in peacebuilding.
In short, these news highlights the challenges facing the DRC in its quest for development. It is a reminder that the Congolese people must continue to work together to ensure the stability and prosperity of their country.
