🎧 Écouter l'article

This is a major step forward for girls' education in West Africa. Meeting in the Council of Ministers this Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the Beninese government officially announced the complete elimination of tuition fees for all girls enrolled in public general and technical secondary schools.

An application available from the start of the 2026-2027 academic year.

This nationwide social reform will soon be implemented: it will take effect at the start of the next school year, 2026-2027. According to the official statement from the government:

"Free schooling in public general and technical secondary education will be effective for all girls throughout the country, starting with the 2026-2027 school year."

Respect for presidential commitments

Led by President Romuald Wadagni, this decision aligns with the promises of his societal project. Through this flagship measure, the Head of State instructed his government to accelerate the implementation of concrete social programs to directly support families and promote the empowerment of young girls through education.
