Education inspectors in Kasongo 2, in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Maniema province, are urging parents to send their children to school as soon as possible.
Inspectors visited schools to assess the resumption of classes. Students were already attending lessons at several establishments on the first day, indicating that the return to school was under way.
After touring several schools, inspector Kikuni Bin wa Menya confirmed that classes had effectively resumed. Kimwanga Ebondo Léon, head of Mulongoy Primary School, also appealed to hesitant parents to enroll or send their children to class so their schooling does not fall behind.
Despite the effective reopening, some parents have not yet sent their children to school. They cited financial difficulties that prevent them from gathering all the necessary supplies.
