The official date for the start of the school year is now known: Wednesday, October 1, 2025. By setting the date, the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training is taking a step toward the reopening of classes. One could say a small step, as the authorities concerned remain silent on the essentials. About six weeks before this date, the government has not yet said how it plans to support parents, especially the poorest.

While it is true that the cost of the education system rests largely on the shoulders of families, even the poorest, the State generally seeks mechanisms to ease the burden, either through the subsidy of teaching materials or the granting of funds to certain categories of families.
