Title: The encouraging results of education in the province of Maniema 1
The province of Maniema 1, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has just announced promising results in the field of education for the 2022-2023 school year. Indeed, the director of the educational province, Séraphin Mokito Gaunda, revealed that the success rate stood at 87% in this entity.
These figures were announced at the end of the annual performance review of educational actions, which brought together around a hundred educational stakeholders for three days in Kindu. However, it is important to emphasize that 13% of students failed, notably due to a low attendance rate of girls at school.
During this evaluation, some participants spoke of the challenges linked to free education in schools. To remedy this situation, various recommendations were made.
First of all, it was proposed to find mechanisms to avoid untimely expulsions of children from school. The importance of obtaining additional textbooks was also highlighted, given the region’s population growth and the creation of new schools.
The provincial government of Maniema is committed to fully collaborating to set up a committee to monitor the execution of these recommendations. The provincial Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education, Selemani Lungundu, expressed confidence in the positive impact of this annual review on the local education system.
This encouraging announcement shows the efforts made by the province of Maniema 1 to improve the education system and offer its students the best learning conditions. However, it is essential to continue supporting and investing in education to ensure a bright future for the region’s youth.
In conclusion, the positive results of the annual performance review of educational actions in the province of Maniema 1 show the will and commitment of local actors to offer quality education. However, challenges persist, particularly with regard to girls’ attendance at school and access to adequate educational resources. It is therefore important to continue efforts to guarantee equitable and quality education for all children.
