The supervisors appreciated this visit and promised to take up the challenges presented to them for the influence of Burkinabè education.
Difficulties of several kinds related in particular to accommodation and food have been submitted to the authorities.
It also appears that some students find themselves in precarious shelters used as dormitories or in tents and the learning conditions are not met for primary school students who are far from their parents, making them very vulnerable.
