This reports majors on the following points:

  • Events
  • Answers to various questions

 

1.Pedagogical
The 2017-2018 School Year started on Thursday 2/10/2017 at 7.30am. The teachers assembled to face new battles to educate the children.

The lessons started on 3/10/2017 in all classes and went well for the whole of this semester.

The pupils have already had 5 evaluations and the average/median mark for the school is:  8.76 /10.

 

2. Social and Moral

During this semester, the relationships between the staff, parents, administration and the pupils have been of good quality. The School has been visited several times by the Pedagogical Director to the Inspector, Education and Adviser Head of the BOBO2 District. During his visits, the teachers benefited enormously from his advice so they can improve further.

With the pupils, many late arrivals into School were recorded in December to mid January. This is because of the change in climate with the coming of the “Harmattan” wind between December and February. Some pupils fell ill then; others have coughs, stomach pains, colds etc.

The situation has now improved from mid January to the end of March. We give thanks to God for less late arrivals into School and less absences due to illness.

Objectives for the 2017-2018 School Year

  • ensure the correct education of the children
  • have a success rate of 100% at the end of the academic year 2017-2018

 

And to achieve these objectives:

  • Each teacher must be punctual and assiduous in his work
  • Organisation of catch up lessons for the very weak pupils, every Saturday morning and Wednesday late afternoons. I can assure you that this is happening already and works very well with volunteer parents. (Does that mean the teachers and the Head are also involved in this, or just the volunteer parents? Françoise)
