And I can see the difference in my son’s academic performance,” she noted. Plus, my daughter Amivi told me that the new latrines allow her to change her sanitary napkins discreetly when she is having her period. Before that, she never liked to go to school at such times, for fear of staining her clothes and being laughed at by her classmates.” </p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <div class="embedcode section"> <div class="clearfix" aria-hidden="true"></div> </div> <hr aria-hidden="true"> <div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><span><span><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_full_size'> <picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v3?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v3?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v3?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v3?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v3?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='New classrooms built and teachers trained to help bring schools up to standard' title='' id='fig_06a1ee90437c42dbad5fc6a54354ee9b_1'></picture><figcaption aria-describedby='fig_06a1ee90437c42dbad5fc6a54354ee9b_1'>Lavié Péniel's new facility and latrines.

With 101 new schools currently under construction under the project, a total of 164 new classrooms have already been completed across the country. Similarly, of the 7,290 bench desks planned for the first two phases of the project’s construction, 2,200 of them have already been delivered.</p><p>The new infrastructure developments are closely monitored by Primary School Management Committees (COGEP), which bring together parent representatives and community leaders, all of whom are actively involved in the affairs of the schools.</p><p>“I am very proud to have been trained under the auspices of COGEP to monitor the construction of the new classrooms,” said Yayra Amédomé,<strong> </strong>a 40-year-old COGEP treasurer, whose child attends the Zébévi public primary school in Aného. A total of 495 COGEP members and school principals were trained to monitor school construction work.</p><p>Today, to the delight of the communities involved, work is continuing in the rest of the country under Phase 1 of the project, with the construction of 153 new classrooms on 51 sites (45 at the primary level and six at the lower secondary school level).</p><p>The same is true for the teacher training programs, which are critical for enhancing and strengthening the quality of teaching. To date, PAQEEB has already trained 7,780 school principals and 7,500 primary school teachers in the use of the new textbooks. “I have seen an improvement in my students’ ability to read. In math as well, the children are stimulated by the new methods we learned during the training program and they are more motivated than before,” noted Atcha Affo, a teacher at the public primary school in Tchamba.</p><p><strong>New school uniforms, a source of pride and confidence for girls</strong></p><p><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_full_size'> <picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v6?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v6?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v6?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v6?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/classrooms-built-teachers-trained-bring-schools-up-to-standard-v6?wid=780&hei=439&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='New classrooms built and teachers trained to help bring schools up to standard' title='' id='fig_06a1ee90437c42dbad5fc6a54354ee9b_2'></picture><figcaption aria-describedby='fig_06a1ee90437c42dbad5fc6a54354ee9b_2'>Young schoolgirls in uniforms, leaving school.

As mothers, we find that our daughters are more comfortable and self-confident. They are beautiful, clean, and all dressed the same, with no noticeable differences between them. Since then, my daughter has been really dedicated to her studies and it is a pleasure for her to go to class.”  </p><p>Like Sarah, nearly 80,000 other girls from vulnerable families in Dankpen, Keran, Kpendjal, and Lacs prefectures have received school uniforms for the 2022-2023 school year.</p><p>As Anani Agbélé, the Lavié Peniel village chief, explained: “Our village has other development needs, including roads, electricity, et cetera, but the new school is a real treasure! The principal teaches two grades in addition to his work as head of the school, but we hope that the government will assign us additional teachers soon.”<strong> </strong></p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <hr aria-hidden="true"> <div class="redesign_title parbase section"> </div> <hr
