The town of Kpalimé is in shock after a student from the Zomayi high school died following the release of the BAC 1 results for the 2026 session.
The young girl, upon checking her results on Sunday, June 7, learned she had failed the BAC 1 2026 exam. She subsequently died by hanging.
This death has deeply affected the educational community, classmates, and residents of the area.
The incident reignites concerns about the psychological pressure associated with school exams and the need for better support for students in distress.
Several education stakeholders stress that failing an exam does not determine a student’s future and call for strengthened listening and psychological support for young people.
