The year 2024 marks a significant turning point in Togo's education sector. More than 2,000 classrooms were built or rehabilitated throughout the country, confirming the government's ongoing efforts to improve access to quality education.

This initiative is part of the Programme de Réhabilitation et de Construction des Infrastructures Scolaires (PRCIS), a flagship project launched in 2020. This program aims to reduce the educational infrastructure deficit and provide optimal learning conditions for students. This is particularly true in rural areas.

An investment in the future

According to official figures released by the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education, this work involves both the construction of new school buildings and the rehabilitation of existing structures. The new infrastructures meet modern standards, with spacious, airy classrooms equipped with appropriate furniture.

A tangible impact in the field

Parents and teachers are delighted with these advances. In Adétikopé, a town some twenty kilometers from Lomé, Mr. Kodjo Ahlonko, a teacher for 15 years, explains: "Before, we taught in makeshift shelters. Today, we have hardened classrooms, which motivates students and teachers alike.

In addition, these investments are accompanied by the supply of school equipment, such as modern blackboards and teaching kits. For pupils, these improvements represent a real opportunity to progress in better conditions.

Towards inclusive and sustainable education

The Togolese government affirms that this initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote inclusive and sustainable education, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. In addition, the authorities have authorized the intensification of actions over the next few years to reach areas that are still landlocked, and to encourage the enrolment of girls.

These achievements address a recurring problem in the country: the lack of suitable infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of recruiting qualified teachers to accompany the increase in infrastructure.

All in all, 2024 will have been a decisive year for Togo's education sector. The construction and refurbishment of these 2,000 classrooms testifies to the political will to make education a lever for development in Togo. But to maintain this momentum, it remains essential to consolidate the gains made and ensure efficient management of human and material resources.
