Resumption of classes in the DRC after the end-of-year holidays
The Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tony Mwaba, announced that classes will resume on Monday, January 8, after more than two weeks of vacation for primary school students and secondary. This resumption had been delayed due to the use of schools as voting centers during recent elections.
Tony Mwaba wanted to correct the erroneous information circulating on social networks, according to which a false press release had been attributed to his account. He confirmed that schools will indeed reopen and that students will be able to resume their activities.
This announcement is greeted with relief by parents and students, who were impatiently awaiting the end of the holidays and the resumption of classes. It is important to emphasize that education is an essential pillar of a country’s development and that the continuity of courses is essential to guarantee a better future for younger generations.
The DRC is going through a complex and unstable political situation, marked by controversial elections and social tensions. In this context, it is crucial to keep the education system running in order to give children and young people the necessary tools to build a solid future.
The resumption of classes therefore represents a step forward towards normality and stability in the field of education in the DRC. Teachers, students and parents must work together to ensure that school activities run smoothly and ensure that students receive a quality education.
It should also be noted that further efforts need to be made to improve learning conditions and strengthen the education system as a whole. This includes training teachers, providing adequate teaching resources and creating learning environments conducive to developing students’ skills.
In conclusion, the resumption of classes in the DRC after the end-of-year holidays is an important step towards the normalization of the educational situation in the country. It is an opportunity to recall the importance of education and to work together to offer younger generations the best possible learning conditions.
