On this back-to-school day of September 14, 2026, the President of the Council, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, made a point of addressing each component of the great Togolese educational family personally, from the youngest pupils to seasoned teachers, including the parents who silently accompany this collective adventure that is school.
To the students first those children returning to school with their new satchels and their eyes still filled with the last images of the holidays the Head of State wished a year placed under the three signs he deems essential: learning, fulfillment, and success.
Three words that express a vision of school not as a place of constraint and cold performance, but as a living space where the child grows even as they learn.
To the teachers next those men and women whose daily work silently shapes the generations who will build tomorrow’s Togo President Faure Gnassingbé extended his encouragement with sincere recognition for their commitment, their patience, and their dedication.
Qualities that society too rarely acknowledges at their true worth, and that the President of the Council chose to name explicitly.
To the parents finally whose benevolent presence and daily support constitute the invisible yet indispensable safety net on which every child’s academic success rests the Head of State expressed his gratitude, acknowledging their role as the first educators without whom school cannot fully accomplish its mission.
