Collège Saint Léon in Mbuji-Mayi was recently plunged into darkness following the tragic accident that occurred during the excursion organized by the school. The death of two students and the serious injuries sustained by a teacher and several students sent shockwaves through the educational community.
In this painful context, the Provincial Minister of Education, Civil Service, Youth, Culture and Arts of Kasaï-Oriental took the courageous decision to temporarily suspend all activities at Collège Saint Léon. This preventive measure aims not only to ensure the safety of students but also to ease tensions between the school and the families of the victims.
The incident at the Tshiala hydroelectric power plant has highlighted the crucial importance of security in extracurricular educational activities. It is essential that authorities and schools redouble their vigilance and put in place adequate security measures to protect students during educational outings.
In this period of mourning and contemplation, it is essential that the educational community mobilizes to support the families of the victims and accompany the students traumatized by this tragic event. Solidarity and empathy are essential values that must guide our actions in such circumstances.
By temporarily suspending activities at Collège Saint Léon, the provincial minister is sending a strong signal in favor of the safety and well-being of students. It is now imperative to learn the lessons of this accident and to put in place effective preventive measures to prevent such tragedies from happening again in the future.
In conclusion, the suspension of activities at Collège Saint Léon is a necessary and responsible decision that demonstrates the willingness of the provincial authorities to guarantee the safety of students. It is time to act collectively to prevent accidents and protect Congolese youth as part of their educational journey.
