At Groupe Scolaire Bilingue Les Amis, pupils returned to school in an orderly atmosphere, with lessons beginning immediately after routine assemblies.
The headmistress, Abo Loveline Mbah Makadaï, told CRTV WEB that the term has started effectively, stressing that it is packed with key academic activities, including official examinations, end-of-year exams, and end-of-year closing activities.
She further noted that the tight academic calendar leaves no room for delay, calling for discipline, focus, and consistency from learners, parents, and staff.
As the this term begins, parents are adjusting their daily routines to align with the school timetable, as pupils are expected to be in school by 7 a.m., requiring earlier morning preparation at home.
Meanwhile, secondary schools are expected to resume classes on Monday, April 27, 2026, in line with the official academic calendar.
The third term will particularly be marked by emphasis on discipline and time management as schools and families prepare for end-of-year exams and activities.
