At the end of the 4th year of secondary all students have to pass an exam called BEPC. You need to have passed this exam if you want to keep on studying.
5 of the refugees students were in the 4th year. The exam BEPC was at the beginningf of June, four out of five manage to get it (80%) a very good success rate when the class success rate was 61% and the national average is around 35%.
The student who did not get the BEPC was the only girl we had from refugees families. The 4 boys who have succeeded will most likely keep on studying at the LAP for an additional 4 years.
This will depend if we find enough funds to keep them at the LAP. Costs for one student for this new cycle is 830 US$ for one year.
We would like to have more refugees children at the LAP for this we need your help.
Make sure that you are communication this project to your friends and family.

Results of the 1st quarter school year 2023-2024

Out of the 7th students coming from refugees families, 5 are in the 4th year of secondary school studies and 2 are in 3rd year.
The 4th year is an important year since there is a national exam called BEPC. Students need to pass this exam if they want to go on with more studies. We really think that the 5 refugees students will get this exam: 2 of them are first of their class and the 3 others have rather good grades.
One of the student in 3rd year has good grades, the other one need to concentrate more on his studies.
To be in a boarding school is not always easy. But students are in ideal conditions to succeed.
We have tried this school year to be more appreciative to help students to get motivated. Since teachers in Burkina are more using the stick (figure of speech) than the carrots they have a tough time to adapt to this new method.
Most likely the 5 students in 4th year will go on studying. We will need your support to make this a reality.
Thank you for your help.

More than 2.000.000 displaced people in Burkina

Students from refugees families
Due to violence, more than 2.000.000 people are displaced in Burkina Faso. This means that 800.000 children between 9 and 19 years old have not access to schooling. There are also over 25.000 refugees mainly from Mali.
This is very sad. Education is the basis of development and those children can be easlily endoctrinated.
This school year we have 7 students coming from refugees families. We were unable to organise a test for new refugees students via UNHCR for this school year
In 2 of the villages out of the 12 villages we are supporting, the population has been displaced by the terrorists. The schools in those villages have been closed. It is not clear when the habitants will be able to go back home.
At the Lycée Agricole Privé we have 20 students coming from those 2 villages. Parents of those students have little or no ressources since they were not able to cultivate their fields.
We are looking for ressources to help pay for the school fees for those students.
Can you or your friends help!
Thank you.
