The Ministry of Education of Niger, led by Dr. Elisabeth Sherif, announces an exciting and hopeful 2024-2025 school year. This year, Niger focuses on the theme « Sovereignty and Rediscovered Citizenship. » This means that education becomes an important way for children to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
The ministry made progress last year, such as reopening schools in areas affected by insecurity. They also relaunched the Certificate of Primary Education (CFEPD) and launched the educational channel TARBIYYA TV. These initiatives help more children access education and receive better quality lessons.
For this new school year, several measures have been put in place. The ministry plans to quickly redeploy teachers and distribute textbooks on time to ensure classes start without delays. They will also repair damaged classrooms and disinfect those that were flooded. Special emphasis will be placed on teaching Civic and Moral Education (ECM) to teach students the importance of citizenship and patriotism.
The ministry also wants to ensure everything goes smoothly by monitoring educational activities. They encourage meetings with parents and unions to maintain a good climate of trust.
Finally, the ministry invites all education stakeholders to commit to the success of this school year. The goal is to make education an essential pillar for the development of Niger!
