Lomami: a timid school return in Ngandanjika amid economic crisis

The 2026-2027 school year in Ngandanjika was characterized by low student attendance due to economic difficulties faced by parents. Many have not yet been able to purchase necessary school supplies due to a poor agricultural season. André Kabunda Madika, deputy provincial education chief, confirmed the start of the school year while lamenting this situation and encouraged parents to send their children to school even without new uniforms.
