The education system in Burkina Faso faces a fundamental crisis amid ongoing insecurity and conflict. Approximately 20% of the country's schools remain closed due to violence, leaving over 818,000 children without access to formal education. Despite these challenges, remarkable community-driven solutions have emerged, with 1,304 schools reopening through local efforts in 2024 and organizations are implementing innovative approaches to bridge educational gaps, including accelerated learning programs that compress multiple years of curriculum into shorter timeframes, and distance learning via radio. With 2 million children requiring urgent educational support, the international community needs to prioritize both immediate access to learning and long-term solutions to strengthen Burkina Faso's education system.
