*BURKINA FASO’S EDUCATIONAL REVOLUTION — YOUTHS ARE THE FUTURE AND PART OF THE PRESENT* Captain Ibrahim Traoré has placed education at the center of Burkina Faso’s vision for the future, calling for a stronger focus on science, technology, technical education, practical skills and professional training.

They must acquire the knowledge, skills and technical abilities needed to create, produce, innovate and contribute to the development of their country.

The goal is to prepare the younger generation not only for tomorrow, but to make them active contributors to Burkina Faso’s development today.
