Each year in July, we select students to enter the LAP.
They are selected among children of 11 villages who have succesfully finished their primary school.
This year we had 6 selection centers where we received 155 candidates. We are looking at selecting a maxixum of 70 students. Out of those 155 candidates, 96 where girls and only 59 boys. Parents see the boarding school aspect of the LAP has a protection for the girls, mainly to avoid to become pregnant.
The test is a mix of questions for French, math, general knowledge and logic.
This year we selected 64 students (38 girls and 26 boys) aged between 11 and 14 years old. We had 39 girls at first, but we were told that one was pregnant!!!!! This is unfortunatly the situation of many girls in rural areas. This confirms the motivation of parents to send girls to our school.
This new school year we will also have a new director, Pamoussa Sawadogo. He will start on August 21st.
Attached you will find a detailed report about the past school year. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
As you can see in the report, your financial support to the LAP is very important. Please communicate to your friends and family about the LAP.
Thank you.
