Abdou highlighted the significance of this collaboration in achieving the school's goals.

Hamidou Mhoma, secretary regional of Ccia Ngazidja, stressed the importance of valuing technical education.

Mhoma encouraged young people to pursue manual and technical careers, emphasizing that these paths should be seen as opportunities rather than failures.

This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and education system.
