Ioba: The teachers of the Basic Education District (CEB) of Dissihn held, from October 15 to 18, 2025, their annual educational conference under the theme: "The implementation of educational reforms and the appropriation of integration situations." The opening ceremony, chaired by the president of the special delegation (PDS) of the commune of Dissihn, Mr. Benjamin Nana, took place in the town hall's function room, in the presence of administrative, military, paramilitary, customary, and religious authorities.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the head of the Dissihn basic education district (CCEB), Mr. Soninuor Meda, praised the strong mobilization of the 342 teachers who came to take part in the meeting. He congratulated the educational stakeholders for the 95.73% success rate recorded in the Primary Education Certificate (CEP) last year, before inviting them to "approach the 2025-2026 school year with optimism and perseverance, in a dynamic of excellence."

Mr. Meda recalled that the major concern of the highest education authorities remains the quality of teaching/learning. It is in this context, he added, that the government, with the support of partners, has undertaken important reforms aimed at improving the education system through the introduction of several innovations.

The CCEB urged participants to take ownership of the conference theme, to deepen their reflection and to make it a personal project, to build a school that is "fair, inclusive and efficient, capable of training responsible citizens committed to the defense of the homeland."

Benjamin Nana, the PDS of the commune of Dissihn, read the speech of the Minister of Basic Education. In this ministerial message, he recalled that the ongoing reforms aim to make young Burkinabe citizens productive, creative, and responsible. He specified that these reforms are part of the presidential initiative for quality education for all, implemented since the 2024-2025 school year.
