On August 12, 2024, a milestone ceremony was held at CEG Kalley Plateau in Niamey, where the Minister of National Education, Dr. Elisabeth Sherif, officially received 40 new classrooms made of final materials. These infrastructures were built in record weeks and meet the urgent need to improve teaching conditions in the areas surrounding the capital.
The new classrooms have been built in eight schools, including Afoda, Kongou, Zarmaganday, Djembé 1, Tchangaray, CFM Niamey 1, Kolonssa and Yantala 1, replacing old hut structures that were often unstable and inadequately functional. In addition to the school buildings, wells have been drilled to improve living conditions for students and staff.
During the ceremony, Dr. Elizabeth Sharif stressed that these new facilities are a powerful symbol of the government’s commitment to quality education. She spoke of the importance of these infrastructures in creating a safer and more stimulating learning environment for students. The Minister also spoke of the ongoing challenges facing Niger’s education system, particularly the gap between program content and local realities. She assured that her ministry is actively reviewing education programs to better meet Niger’s specific needs.
Lieutenant Colonel Sali Boucar, the commissioned administrator of Niamey Commune III, spoke out to express the gratitude of residents and encouraged the community to take care of the new infrastructure. He described the schools as “jewels” for the children’s future and called on teachers to use them as laboratories of excellence to train the country’s future leaders.
The inauguration marks an important step in the transformation of Niger’s education system and demonstrates the government’s strong commitment to improving learning conditions and modernizing school infrastructure.
