The educational province of Nord-Kivu 3 (Masisi, Walikale) calls on schools to welcome displaced children fleeing clashes between the army and the AFC/M23

The 2026-2027 school year started on September 1 in the educational province of Nord-Kivu 3, with 118,767 students present, including 50,399 girls. Low attendance is attributed to economic difficulties and security issues, as clashes between the army and the AFC/M23 have displaced many families. Educational authorities are urging schools to welcome displaced children to allow them to continue their education.
