In a ceremony held on September 21, 2026, at the Lycée Moderne d'Agnibilékrou, six students were awarded for their outstanding performance in the "Miss Littérature" competition. The competition, aimed at promoting reading and academic excellence among young girls, is part of a broader initiative to encourage girls to pursue their studies and reach their full potential. The winners, from second and first-year classes, received school kits and cash prizes from the school's principal, Gobli Christophe.

The top students in the first-year class were Yao Blé Akloundjo Estime, who took first place, followed by Djokouehi Loba Sara in second place and Kouakou Akoua Kra in third. In the second-year class, Atsé Achiba Naomie emerged as the winner, with Anoh Noëlle Grâce Emmanuelle in second place and Koffi Affoua Grâce in third. These students had previously received medals and envelopes from the competition organizers in April 2026.

The ceremony also paid tribute to the late director of the Agnibilékrou Department of Agriculture, Mme Dosso Flyn Rosalie épouse Dosso, who passed away on August 12, 2026. The promoters of the competition praised her support for the initiative and her commitment to promoting education and the success of young girls. The "Miss Littérature" competition is led by Ahouré Stéphane, a philosophy teacher, and N'Guessan Mélanie and Cendrine Agniman, French teachers.

The competition aims to promote the development of young girls through literature and contribute to the promotion of female excellence. By recognizing and rewarding students who excel in literature, the competition encourages girls to pursue their studies and develop their skills. The organizers believe that this initiative will have a positive impact on the academic performance and self-esteem of the students.

In addition to the "Miss Littérature" competition, the organizers plan to launch a new competition, "Miss Mathématiques", to encourage girls to pursue scientific disciplines and develop their skills in mathematics. This new initiative aims to address the underrepresentation of girls in STEM fields and provide them with the support and resources they need to succeed.
