What happened in 2007? The whole country was a buzz of activity during Action Week. Officials went back to formal and non-formal schools, debated education on TV, and a massive chain reaction took place in the Général Seyni Kountché Stadium, involving a thousand pupils. Students enjoyed the music from popular rap group Kaîdan Gaskya and the amazing singer Hadiza Mangou, as they handed their messages hand to hand along the chain to the Minister of Education and the Ambassador of France. The messages described the violations of Education Rights and demands to correct these wrongs.  2008 Report Card PDF
