Education being the key to the development of a region, we were interested in the result of the state examination in the chiefdom of Watalinga to see the evolution of this one in this field. We have undertaken a study entitled: «Outline of the causes of massive failures in the state exams in the pedagogical section in the chiefdom of Watalinga».
This study focused on several points including the number of qualified and under-qualified teachers, the graduates produced since 2016 until 2021, the causes of massive failures and the related consequences. In relation to the under-qualified teachers and the results of the state examinations (2016-2021) in the chiefdom of Watalinga, we have listed 198 teachers with state diplomas, 7 graduates, and 1 bachelor in applied pedagogy. Out of 448 finalist students, only 122 or 27.2% obtained their state diplomas and 324 or 72.8% had failed. We found that these results are due to the under-qualification of teachers, the lack of control of teaching by inspectors and the absence of an institution of higher pedagogical education to raise the level of education in this region.
