Today we have 4 literacy centres spread across several villages in the Kokologho area. More than 160 children aged between 8 and 16 attend these centres. The teachers are young Burkinabe who have reached a level of education sufficient to teach; through this work they gain a status in society and can continue to train and progress with the support and supervision of the local education authority. All the teachers take two teaching courses a year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This year, in February 2018, HAMAP-Humanitaire was able to open its 4th literacy centre in the locality of Bingo, following needs identified by the town council.<\/strong> This new class takes in 31 pupils, 11 girls and 20 boys, to begin a school cycle from the first preparatory year. The town council of Bingo provides a room free of charge for the lessons. Before starting, the new teacher spent a week observing classes at the Kokologho centre in order to absorb the other teachers&#039; methods. As in the other literacy centres, a canteen will be set up so that the children can eat at midday. The canteen is run by the parents&#039; association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-5312\" src=\"https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-450x337.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-450x337.jpg 450w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090361-20x15.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A preliminary meeting was held with the children&#039;s parents to explain the basics of the teaching and to encourage their involvement in their children&#039;s schooling before classes began.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-5311\" src=\"https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-450x337.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-450x337.jpg 450w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hamap-humanitaire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P2090360-20x15.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This new literacy centre will be officially registered with the competent local authorities in September 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2009, HAMAP-Humanitaire has worked with the Parish of Kokologho to create literacy centres allowing children who are out of school and past the legal age for state education to complete a full school cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A new literacy centre opens in Burkina Faso!
