The new programs, which will be applied from the next school year in a month, concern the classes of CP1, CP2, 6th and 5th.

They were developed with technical and financial support from the World Bank.

New: the student will be the center of interest rather than the teacher, according to the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Jean-Luc Mouthou. 

The old programs will go to the closet.

We are in a world that is modernizing and where new knowledge is more accessible today to learners.

In the new programs, we will situate and resituate the learner in his most immediate environment

”, explains the Minister after a ceremony to launch these new programs.

The examples that will be taken will reveal the context and the everyday standard of living of the learner.

It will be beneficial for him to be able to access knowledge and skills in this way

, ”he adds.

"

The context, the environment and the novelty,

he continues,

must ultimately mean that teaching is no longer the essential center of interest in the classroom, but rather the student

", explains Jean -Luc Mouthou.

He indicated that the teams continued to work so that after the CP1, CP2, 6th and 5th classes, other levels could be covered from the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
