The 2026-2027 academic year has officially commenced in Togo, characterized by the implementation of significant educational reforms. A key development is the introduction of ‘classes métiers’ (vocational classes), designed to encourage early career discovery among both primary and secondary students. Building on previous preparations, the University of Lomé is expanding its curriculum to include Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese to enhance student employability. Additionally, local authorities in the Golfe 1 commune and various NGOs, such as the Ligue Togolaise pour la Protection de l’Enfance (LTPE), continue to support the start of the year by distributing school kits to vulnerable children. In Togo’s Central Region, prefects from the Tchaoudjo, Mô, Blitta, Tchamba, and Sotouboua prefectures conducted inspections of public and private primary and secondary schools. Officials reported that teachers and students were present and some classes had already begun lessons. To facilitate the return to school, security forces were deployed at intersections to manage student traffic. Authorities also emphasized a commitment to improving scientific education to enhance future employment opportunities.
