Lycée Guébré-Mariam Starts Classes On Schedule Amid Textbook Delay

Classes at Lycée Guébré-Mariam in Addis Ababa have officially commenced on schedule, despite facing significant delays in textbook deliveries and an ongoing major management transition. Headmaster Joseph Palmieri explained that the delay occurred because the Mission Laïque Française failed to provide the necessary funding required for the learning materials on time, forcing the administration to place orders late. To ensure learning continues without disruption, students are currently utilizing digital copies of the textbooks. Total student enrollment at the institution has now increased to 1,829 students for the current academic term. To accommodate this growing student body, the school is planning to construct two additional classrooms, which will create space for approximately 50 more students.
