Following the arson occurred in the École nationale mixte of of Léogâne during recent opposition demonstrations, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16402-haiti-news-electoral-zapping.html and to the lycée Fabre Geffrard of Gonaïves, the Ministry of National Education informs the public in general that it has taken all steps for the supervision and relocation of 663 students concerned who must continue their academic learning.

So Tuesday, January 26th, the students of the École nationale mixte of of Léogâne were temporarily accommodated in the School congregational Ste.-Rose of Lima of Léogâne, in the presence of the Minister of Education, Nesmy Manigat.

By next week, the school will be relocated to a new space redesigned to receive the two shifts of the establishment until the end of the year. Cleaning work is already underway on the site. The Ministry thanks the léogânaise community, especially Pastor Henry Milien, the Mayor of Léogâne and the Rotary Club for their support for the respect of the right to education of these children.

In the long term, the Ministry intends to proceed with the reconstruction of the torched establishment and is already looking for a land with the City Council.

Regarding high school Fabre Geffrard whose a classroom of 7th was burned, the affected students are already placed in other classroom with their peers pending redevelopment work of their initial space with new school facilities by the end of this week.
