The initiative by NGO Kagnimin, supported by the Mathematical Society of Ivory Coast, aims to promote scientific subjects among pupils, according to L’Intelligent d’Abidjan.
In Ivory Coast’s Hambol region, only 18 of the 69 secondary schools recorded have seconde C classes, compared with four première C classes and a single terminale C class, which has 14 pupils, according to L’Intelligent d’Abidjan. These figures were presented during the launch of mathematics clubs in the region’s secondary schools.
The project led by NGO Kagnimin, chaired by Tatiana Bombo, with the support of the Mathematical Society of Ivory Coast, is planned over three years, from 2026 to 2028. It includes practical activities, games, scientific challenges and digital tools to improve academic performance, identify talent and prepare pupils for competitions and Olympiads, reports L’Intelligent d’Abidjan.
Katiola MP-mayor Thomas Camara urged pupils to regard mathematics as a subject that can be mastered through hard work and perseverance. He also encouraged them to make the clubs spaces for learning and emulation, while urging young girls to pursue scientific fields.
