1 | Côte d'Ivoire: When Will the Universities Reopen? | Côte d'Ivoire : Rahoviana Ny Fanokafana Indray Ireo Anjerimanontolo? |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Côte d'Ivoire Unrest 2011. [All links in are in French unless otherwise indicated] | Nandritra ny disadisa nialoha ny fifidianana tao Côte d'Ivoire, ireo anjerimanontolo telo ao amin'io firenena io (Cocody, Abobo-Adjamé sy Bouaké) dia nakatona ary tsy nasiana olona tany amin'ireo toeram-ponenan'ny mpianatra. |
3 | During the post election crisis in Côte d'Ivoire [en], the country's three universities (Cocody, Abobo-Adjamé and Bouaké) were closed and the halls of residence cleared of their residents. | |
4 | While many Ivorians welcomed this measure at the time, today many are questioning the uncertainty surrounding the reopening of the universities. The closures had two specific aims: | Raha betsaka tamin'ireo Ivoariana no nadray izany fanapahan-kevitra izany tamin'ny lafiny tsara, amin'izao fotoana kosa dia maro ireo mametra-panontaniana manoloana ny manjavozavo mikasika ny ho fanokafana indray ireny anjerimanontolo ireny. |
5 | - To free up the rooms that were illegally occupied by non-students, especially members of the powerful, not to mention armed, Fédération Estudiantine et Scolaire de Côte d'Ivoire (Federation of Ivorian Students and Scholars) - To renovate the buildings, which were in a serious need of repair. | Tanjona roa no nanosika ny fanakatonana : famotsorana ireo efitrano nobodoin'ireo tsy mpianatra ara-dalàna (indrindra fa ireo mpikambana mitam-piadiana ao amin'ilay Fédération Estudiantine et Scolaire de Côte d'Ivoire, na Federasionan'ny Mpianatra ao Cote d'Ivoire), ary fanavaozana ireo foto-drafitrasa, izay efa tena anaty fahasimbana tafahoatra. |

8 | Despite the fanfare that accompanied the beginning of the works, with visits from the Higher Education Minister Cissé Bacongo being reported across the Ivorian national media, the uncertainties surrounding the date when courses will finally resume were a source of concern for students, teachers and parents. | Raha natao naresaka be ny fanombohana ny asa niaraka tamin'ny fitsidihan'ny Minisitry ny fampianarana ambony Cissé Bacongo, nitondràna ny mpanao gazety, tsy mampitony ny sain'ireo mpianatra, ny mpampianatra ary ny ray aman-dreny velively ny tsy fahazoana antoka momba ny daty tokony hiverenan'ny fampianarana. |

10 | Over the last few days the debate has intensified on social networking sites, particularly on Twitter. | Tato anatin'ny andro vitsivitsy, nifindra ho any amin'ireo tambajotra sosialy ny fifanakalozan-dresaka ary indrindra indrindra fa ny Twitter. |
11 | Government minister Antoine Mian, a campaigner for IT and telecommunications in education, has underlined the risks of a prolonged university closure: | Antoine Mian (@Mianseh), mpitolona ho an'ny TIC eny amin'ny sehatry ny fampianarana, dia nanipika tsara ny voka-dratsy ateraky ny fanakatonana lavareny ny anjerimanontolo : |
12 | @MIANSEH: idleness is the root of vice #VICES and Ivorian students have been idle for the past 5 months. | @Mianseh ny fidonanam-poana no renin'ny#VICES (na ny haratsiana) rehetra ary nandritra ny 5 taona ny mpianatra Ivoariana no nitaingin-tamboho. |
13 | Hello #VICES #sosUniv #criseUniv #civ2010 | Tongasoa ry #VICES#sosUniv#criseUniv#civ2010 |
14 | Micro-bloggers have not been slow to ask the question directly to Alain Lobognon, one of the few Ivorian ministers to have an active Twitter account. Marc Antoine Hodonou demanded to know: | Ireo mpitoraka bilaogy kiritika dia tsy niandry fiangaviana vao nametraka fanontaniana mivantambantana tamin'i Alain Lobognon, iray amin'ireo minisitra Ivoariana vitsy mbamanana kaonty Twitter miasa, Marc Antoine Hodonou no nanontany azy : |
15 | @Ceschod: just 1 question: has a date been set for the reopening of the U[niversity] campuses at #Ci225 ? | @Ceschod fanontaniana 1 monja: efa misy daty voatondro ve hanokafana indray ny toeram-ponenan'ny mpianatra ny #Ci225 ? |
16 | #civ2010 #civ225 | #civ2010 #civ225 |
17 | More pragmatically, Don Prince suggests a compromise solution allowing the works to continue and teaching to resume: | Tsaratsara kokoa, i Don Prince dia nandroso ala-olana iray mety ho an'ny andaniny sy ny ankilany izay afaka sady hanohizana ny asa no hamerenana koa ny fampianarana : |
18 | @princedonk: What I want to say is that classes can run while a part of the univeristy is under construction, if a little care is taken! | @princedonk Ny tiako ho lazaina, dia ny hoe afaka tohizana ny fampianarana amin'ny alalan'ny ampahany amin'ireo faritry ny anjerimanontolo nasiam-panamboarana saingy arahana fepetram-piarovana! |

20 | According to him, the Institut National Polytechnique Houphet Boigny (INP-HB) has already proved that this could work. | Raha ny heviny, ny Institut National Polytechnique Houphet Boigny (INP-HB) no efa nanaporofo fa azo atao tsara izany. |
21 | This public, higher education institute based in Yamoussoukro (the political capital) has a faculty in Abidjan and its students were housed on the Cocody campus. | Ity sekolim-panjakana ambony ity izay ao Yamoussoukro ( renivohitra ara-politika) dia manana sampana ao Abidjan ary ny mpianana sasany dia efa nampiantranoina ao amin'ny toeram-ponenany ao Cocody. |
22 | As Don Prince points out, despite the closure of the Cocody campus, courses have carried on at the INP-HB: | Na eo aza ny fanakatonana ireo toeram-ponenan'ny mpianatra ao Cocody, dia efanitohy ny fampianarana ao amin'ny INP-HB araka ny ampahatsiahivan'i Prince Don azy. |
23 | @princedonk: Despite the university closures, the INPHB faculty at Cocody university has remained operational, example to follow #sosUniv | @princedonk Na eo aza ny fanakatonana ireo anjerimanontolo, ny sampan'ny INPHB ao amin'ny anjerimanontolon'i Cocody nitohy niodina hatrany, ohatra tsara arahana #sosUniv |
24 | If this solution was rolled out across the universities, lecture halls and other rooms would be quickly put straight and the students could resume their courses again despite the campus closures. | Raha nitarina tany amin'ny anjerimanontolo hafa io vahaolana io, dia ho efa voavoatra faran'izay haingana ireo efitrano sy amphithéâtres ary dia afaka niverina nianatra ny mpianatra na dia mikatona aza ny toeram-ponenana natao ho an'ireo mpianatra. |
25 | For others, difficulties surrounding housing and transport at Abidjan encourage them to suggest other solutions, like distance learning. | Ho an'ny hafa, ny hasarotana mifamatotra amin'ny fampiantranoana sy ny fitaterana ao Abidjan dia mahatonga fanolorana vaha-olana hafa, toy ny hoe fampianarana ampitain-davitra. |
26 | Hagger55 suggests: | Hagger55 dia mandroso soso-kevitra hoe : |
27 | @hager55: online teaching; video conferencing to catch up on years that have already begun @anarshy @Sanders225 #sosUniv #civ2010 for speed | @hagger55 Lesona anaty aterineto ; fomba fanao amin'ny visioconférence mba hanonerana ny taona efa natomboka @anarshy @Sanders225 #sosUniv #civ2010 mba handehanana haingana. |
28 | But, in the absence of appropriate infrastructure and the lack of households with the required IT equipment, this solution is unlikely to succeed, as Stephane Kouakou points out : | Saingy eo ny tsy fisian'ny foto-drafitrasa voaomana ho amin'izany sy ny havitsian'ny tokantrano afaka manana fitaovana informatika ho amin'izany, kely ny vintana hidirana amin'izany vaha-olana izany hoy i Stephane Kouakou (@iamstephanek) mampahatsiahy: |
29 | @iamstephanek: Equipment levels? | @iamstephanek Hatraiza ny fampitaovana? |
30 | @hager55: on line teaching; video conferencing to catch up on years that have already begun @anarshy @Sanders225 #sosUniv | @hager55: Lesona anaty aterineto ; fomba fanao amin'ny visioconférence mba hanonerana ny taona efa natomboka @anarshy@Sanders225#sosUniv |
31 | To reassure everyone, Alain Lobognon announced: | Mba ho fanomezan-toky ny tsirairay, ny minisitra Alain Lobognon dia nanambara hoe: |
32 | @MIANSEH: The date has been set. | @MIANSEH Efa fantatra ny daty. |
33 | It will be made public start of November by the GOVT #ci225 We are avoiding past mistakes #civ2010 | Ampahafantarin'ny Govrnmt ny be sy ny maro izany amin'ny volana Novambra #ci225 Ndeha isika hisoroka ny hadisoan'ny fahiny #civ2010 |
34 | But he insisted on specifying: | Nefa notsipihany tsara hoe : |
35 | @MIANSEH: The Universities wont be reopened hastily. | @MIANSEH Tsy sokafana an-kamehana fotsiny ireo Anjerimanontolo. |
36 | Address problems before opening #ci225 #civ2010 | Tsaboina aloha ny tsy mety alohan'ny fanokafna #ci225#civ2010 |
37 | The message is clear, Ivorian students need to be patient and consider alternative solutions like the private, higher education Grands Ecoles or civil service entry exams (civil service courses have not been interrupted). | Mazava ny hafatra, mila manana faharetana ireo mpianatra ivoariana ary ho an'ireo efa nahazo taona, dia mila mijery vaha-olana hafa toy ny sekoly ambony tsy mainkina na fifaninanana hidirana aminà asam-panjakana. |
