Following the Council of Ministers meeting of 22 October 2025, the government gave the green light for the construction of five science high schools and a Higher Normal School. These institutions will be located in Abomey-Calavi, Parakou, Lokossa, Abomey and Natitingou, with the aim of training a new generation of Beninese scientists capable of addressing the challenges of national development.
This initiative, which forms part of the ongoing reforms in the subsector of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, aims to strengthen the quality of teaching in science, technology and mathematics. It also responds to the need to provide the country with a pool of well-trained teachers and competent scientific personnel.
