Bunia, Democratic Republic of the Congo — A group of 25 secondary school students, including eight girls, are being escorted by UN peacekeepers to Bunia for their preliminary Examen d’État exams.
The escort is a response to the recent violence in the region, ensuring students can safely reach their exam centers.
The exams are set to begin on May 4, with the students returning to Gina under escort after the conclusion of the exams on May 7. MONUSCO’s support for safe schooling has protected over 11,500 students in the Ituri province, reflecting the ongoing efforts to maintain education amidst security challenges.
