On Thursday, October 27, 2022, all public school management committees (COGES) in the Sinfra department were called upon to open their accounts at the bank of the Public Treasury, during the back-to-school meeting.

The regional coordinator of the COGES of the Regional Directorate of National Education and Literacy (DRENA) in Sinfra, Diby Komenan Jules informed that “now, he is required to transfer accounts to the Treasury Bank for transparent management.” According to him, this decision was taken to be in line with the decision of the President of the Ivorian Republic.

Alassane Ouattara decided to suspend all forms of membership fees or ancillary fees that are often required from parents on behalf of COGES in public institutions. Once this decision is implemented, the committees must receive grants according to the number of students to be managed. As a reminder, the amount of the state subsidy amounts to more than 16 billion CFA francs for the 2022-2023 school year compared to 4.7 billion for the 2021-2022 school year.
