A ministerial decree now lays the groundwork for a profound modernisation of school structures. From the 2026–2027 academic year, sixteen new science secondary schools will welcome students across the entire national territory. This decision reaffirms the absolute priority given to education, modernity, and social equity. Under the leadership of Togo’s President, Faure Gnassingbé, the government places mastery of scientific knowledge at the heart of national development.
The geographical distribution of these institutions reflects a republican ambition of the highest order. The school mapping plan neglects no canton, no district. All seven Regional Education Directorates receive their fair share of this strategic investment.
Political pragmatism guides every step of this transformation. The decision to establish these schools on the sites of already operational high schools ensures a swift launch and safeguards public finances.
The State optimises existing infrastructure without delaying action. This measure is coupled with the simultaneous opening of five full-cycle science high schools.
Public authority is thus shaping a smooth and continuous trajectory for promising students, from the start of secondary education through to access to higher studies.
The presidential education policy is yielding tangible results. The dissemination of scientific knowledge is no longer a pious hope it is taking root in the daily lives of families, in rural areas as well as urban centres.
Togo is preparing its youth for the economic and industrial demands of tomorrow. The skills necessary for national sovereignty are growing in classrooms across the country. Through this strategic direction, Faure Gnassingbé confirms Togo’s role as a regional hub of excellence and innovation.
