Augustin Antoine, the Minister of National Education, officially launched the 2024-2025 school census on the theme Resansman lekòl jodi, se prepare zouti pou planifye edikasyon demen.

The launch was followed by a two-day training workshop on the handling of the digital data collection form, which will be used as part of this vast operation, for Area Inspectors, Principal Inspectors, Planners and members of the Departmental Unit of the Education Information and Management System (SIGE) of the Departmental Directorate of Education of the West.

The Minister explained "The field work to collect data is essential to strengthen the SIGE which already has some data, collected via the declarations recorded since 2022, however, it is necessary to complete and correct this data with the data collected in the field in order to be able to make the right decisions in terms of governance of the education sector, access, quality and efficiency [...]"

For 6 weeks, 134 Principal Inspectors, 572 Area Inspectors, 35 Planners and members of Departmental Cells of the SIGE spread across 85 School Districts established in the ten Departmental Directorates of Education, will have to visit, in a difficult context, nearly 19,000 schools in the 10 Departmental Directorates of Education and support school principals in filling out the census forms.

"We must combine our efforts, harmonize our interventions to ensure that the data collection operation in schools is a success," concluded the Minister.

For his part, the Director General of the Ministry, insisted on the importance of the approach to be able to increase the school offer, by having solid information relating to the number of schools, teachers and students in the education system.

The Ministry will take the opportunity to collect data also on Higher Education Institutions. In this sense, the digital data collection application will be submitted to the managers and deans of these academic institutions.
