We believe in the power of Education
Despite the horrible life circumstances that Haiti has been experiencing for several years, we educators will never be discouraged because we believe that education is a weapon. We strongly believe that education is a much more powerful weapon than those used by the bandits.
Yes, we believe in the power of education. It remains that we need to set up an education system adapted to the reality and needs of the Citizens of Haiti. This is why the Management of Ecole Saint-Paul de Corail, together with the other actors, is committed to fighting for a new education system aimed at the training of leaders, development agents, creators of goods and services, entrepreneurs as well as good responsible citizens committed to the development of the country.
Brief evaluation of the 2020-2021 school year
During the school year 2019/2020 Haiti was greatly impacted with the Covid-19 virus. Schools were opened for only 4 months due to restrictions such as curfews and lock-downs leaving us with many gaps to fill in the curriculum. Thanks to the collaboration of the actors and teamwork, we managed to fill the academic gaps and complete almost 2 years of studies in 9 months. All things considered the school year 2020/2021 was a great success.
