education girls bicycles exams EFA

  • Students from the Bandakidini Primary School on their way to their exams in Gayéri, the provincial capital of Burkina Faso and twelve miles away from their village, were a sight to see. They were riding on new bicycles, provided to them through the Ambassadors' Girls' Scholarship Program (AGSP), which is funded by USAID.
  • Transportation has long been a barrier to children attending school and accessing testing centers. When AGSP first started at this school in the village of Bandikidini, there were only 53 students.
  • In Bandikidini, the responsibility of transporting students to the testing centers falls on the community. Means of transportation are limited, as are supervisors to travel with the students. The Certificat d'etudes primaries (CEP) exams fall during the growing season, normally just around the time when there is enough rain to start planting the fields.

  • In response, AGSP made it a point to include bicycles as part of this area's scholarship package. By 2010 they had given out 817 bicycles to scholars, which have proved to be beneficial in many situations, whether for a student to get herself to a crucial exam, or to ride across town to a classmate's house for an extra study session.
