School Year 2026-2027: Between Resumption of Classes and Displacement of Populations Fleeing Fighting in Walowa-Yungu (Walikale)

The school year 2026-2027 began on September 1 in several schools in Walowa-Yungu, despite a context of insecurity and population displacement. Families fled their homes due to hostilities attributed to the AFC/M23, finding themselves in precarious conditions. Bwira Bisika, the administrative secretary, emphasizes that the security situation directly impacts children's education, making it difficult for them to return to their schools. He calls for improved security to allow families to return and for classes to resume normally.
