Abidjan, May 27 (IANS/MAP) Ivory Coast's Minister of National and Technical Education Kandia Camara said that 1,165,325 schoolchildren, representing 39.9 per cent of the country's population, are without birth certificates.
Camara officially launched the mass reviews in Agboville and expressed her concern about this "crucial" issue on Friday.
The ministry urged all the partners in the education system to effectively involve themselves in the process of making supplementary judgments and extracts of birth certificates for those children without identification papers.
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights has granted three months for the finalisation of this operation.
