Baba Thiam, Inspector of Education and Training of Mbour 1, listed before the mayor of the capital Petite Côte, the problems that the municipality will have to solve in order to improve education.
During the ceremony for the delivery of school supplies for primary schools, the head of the school at the local level argued that it is necessary to provide drinking water and combat temporary shelters. ” In schools it will be necessary to provide drinking water, build classrooms to reduce the gap in temporary shelters and replace the surrounding walls. The mayor has made commitments in this regard and we will draw up a policy document that we will make available to him and which will allow him to make the right decisions. “, Baba Thiam argued.
In addition to these difficulties, the school of the municipality of Mbour is confronted with a problem of the number of teachers, but also with a plethoric number of pupils that requires the creation of a double flow. “There are certainly teacher shortages, but whenever we discover that there is a desperate shortage of teachers, we will take steps to solve this problem. Just today we solved this in a school. We are at the inauguration and this type of problem is starting to be regular. There is a plethora of students in Mbour. In addition, some students take lessons in the morning and others in the evening.Baba Thiam said.
For Mayor Cheikh Issa Sall, the efforts were made compared to previous years, as supplies were delivered on time and the cost was multiplied by almost 4 times.We have organized this ceremony for the delivery of school materials, because we want the students of the municipality to receive a good education. And to succeed in this bet, you have to put the means. A few weeks ago we organized the celebration of excellence with the AMDEM movement and awarded the 300 best students in the municipality. We supported 2,500 students who received school kits to pass the “Ubi tey jangë tey”. In the years to come, we will increase support for office equipment to support teachers. Despite this leap forward, we are still not satisfied as our goal is far from being achieved.”
Receiving these supplies during this very difficult time is a good thing for student parents. This will relieve the populations who need it in this time of economic crisis.
