Benin: Ban on selling and requiring the use of activity workbooks in middle and high schools

In the document signed by Doctor Mathias Amour Ahomadegbe, it is stated that despite the instructions in force, some teachers continue to engage in this practice in their classrooms. A situation that led the departmental authority to reiterate the firm ban on the sale and use of these teaching materials.

Sanctions for offenders

The authority recalls that this measure applies to all secondary institutions in Atlantique, whether public or private. It specifies that school principals as well as educational advisors are instructed to ensure its rigorous implementation.

Failure to comply with this decision exposes those responsible to disciplinary sanctions in accordance with the applicable provisions. The Departmental Director insisted on the vigilance of institution leaders to ensure strict observance of the measure.

In conclusion, the price to be paid by recalcitrant teachers or institutions will be disciplinary sanctions, a sign of the educational administration’s determination to put an end to this practice deemed contrary to the regulations.
