WNCB partner Save the Children in Côte d’Ivoire has set up bridge classes for 261 children (148 girls and 113 boys) in eight villages in the departments of Guéyo, Buyo and Soubré for the 2020 – 2021 school year. In the beginning of September 2021, a mission to assess children’s knowledge found that they had developed very good skills and abilities in calculating and reading. Under the terms of this mission, recommendations will make it possible to properly prepare for the integration of these children into the formal national education system of Côte d’Ivoire for the year 2021 – 2022. Through these bridge classes, WNCB was able protect 261 children from the risk of being engaged in (hazardous) work.
