Togo: Free, quality education under the aegis of President Faure Gnassingbé
In Togo, President Faure Gnassingbé has been committed to providing free and quality education, marking a significant effort towards the advancement of education in the country. President Faure Gnassingbé is recognized as a visionary leader who takes decisive actions to improve education for the future of Togo. Central to this endeavor is the abolition of tuition fees for primary education, from the Preparatory Course (CPI) to the CM2 (fifth grade), which serves as a symbol of intellectual liberation throughout the Togolese territory.
This bold initiative lightens the financial burden on Togolese students and underscores President F. Gnassingbé’s unwavering commitment to education as a cornerstone of Togo’s future development.
The Togolese government, through the Ministry of Primary, Secondary, Technical, and Vocational Education, has been making concerted efforts to provide quality education to the youth of Togo.
The 2023-2024 school year saw the opening of new General Education Colleges (CEG) in various localities across the country.
This strategic move by President Faure Gnassingbé aims to address issues of overcrowding and inadequate capacity in public schools.
Additionally, a significant reduction in school fees from CEG to high school has been implemented, expanding access to education for all Togolese citizens.
This measure, taken with an inclusive vision, reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to removing financial barriers that could hinder the right to education.
President Faure Gnassingbé’s vision for education goes beyond financial aspects. Substantial reforms are underway at all levels and throughout the country.
These include the distribution of school materials, regulations on school uniforms, and teacher recruitment.
These measures demonstrate an unwavering commitment to raising Togolese education to ever-higher standards.
Through these initiatives, President Faure Gnassingbé stands out as a visionary leader determined to shape a promising future for Togo’s youth through accessible and quality education.
