The Office national de l'état civil et de l'identification (ONECI) of Côte d'Ivoire initiated an identification process for students in exam classes on October 1, 2026, at the Lycée moderne 1 in Toumodi. This effort aims to enable students to obtain their Cartes nationales d'identité (CNI) before the commencement of high-stakes exams. The launch event was attended by Kaunan Julien, the regional supervisor of ONECI for the Bélier region, Touhou Monbléguin, the secretary general of Toumodi's prefecture, and Yéo Aussoumane, the headmaster of Lycée moderne 1.
According to Kaunan Julien, the ONECI's regional supervisor, this initiative seeks to expedite the identification process for concerned students, ensuring they receive their national ID cards in time for upcoming exams. By doing so, the operation aims to prevent delays in identification and verification procedures during exams. The event was also attended by several students from exam classes, who are expected to benefit from this streamlined process.
The headmaster of Lycée moderne 1, Yéo Aussoumane, and the secretary general of Toumodi's prefecture, Touhou Monbléguin, encouraged students to seize this opportunity by actively participating in the identification process when ONECI agents visit the school. They emphasized the importance of possessing a valid ID card to avoid potential issues during national exams.
Students in exam classes were urged to participate in the identification operations conducted by ONECI agents within the school. This collaborative effort aims to facilitate the prompt processing of their dossiers, allowing students to focus on their exams without administrative concerns. The initiative reflects a proactive approach to addressing the administrative needs of candidates.
This identification drive is part of a broader strategy to anticipate and meet the administrative requirements of students ahead of national exams. By providing students with their national ID cards in a timely manner, ONECI aims to create a more conducive environment for exam preparation and administration.
The launch of this identification process in Toumodi is a significant step towards ensuring that students can approach their exams with minimal administrative distractions. The involvement of school authorities and ONECI officials underscores the collaborative effort to support students in this critical phase of their academic journey.
As the identification process unfolds, students in exam classes are expected to benefit from a more efficient and accelerated procedure for obtaining their national ID cards. This development is anticipated to have a positive impact on the overall exam experience for students in Côte d'Ivoire.
