Announced in the press since May 25, 2021, the new epic book by journalist-writer Sylvain Takoué, came out in broad daylight on June 8, at Scripta editions, in Côte d’Ivoire. We remind you that this book, of 324 pages, is entitled Ecole ivoirienne, le grand retour – Epître au Pr. Mariatou Koné.
True exaltation of public education, this essay of reflections will ignite, with its reading, many passions on the high culture that the author calls with all his wishes, in an Ivorian reformist school.
And it is to the new Minister of National Education, Mariatou Koné, that the journalist-writer, inspired as ever, relies on to move the lines usefully. His book, which he himself presents poetically as an “ode to the subliminal natural beauty” of the minister, invites the latter to make him also resemble, by its intellectual stature, the Ivorian School of which she now has the destiny. future in hand.
Undoubtedly, this book which at the same time incenses and remobilizes, caricatures and magnifies, playing skillfully on the sensibilities of the glory of having children educated at the authentic School, will bring a lot of intellectual water to the mill of the new minister.
Who has already taken the lead, as by seizing the bull by the horns: properly reform, in all its compartments, the National Education, to give it back its letters of nobility.
We will get a more precise idea of it, once this book has gone into mass distribution in bookstores. But honor, the saying goes: the author and his team first symbolically intend to give the scoop to Minister Mariatou Koné herself, by handing him in person the first copy of the autographed book, before consumer distribution.
It is good to note that this work, which is positioned as the “conscience” of the Ivorian School, could open up happy avenues for other good reflections such as those, crisp, that it distils over its pages.
Given that it did not limit itself to only going around the burning issue of schools in Côte d’Ivoire, but also to making concrete proposals to the Ivorian education system, which needs them.
