“All University Students In Burkina Faso Will Not Receive A Payment of 100K CFA As Support Throughout Their Studies And Until They Get Jobs.” – Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso
In April 2025, the government of Burkina Faso announced that all university students would receive a salary of 100,000 CFA (approximately $167 USD) as financial support for their studies and until they find employment. This initiative aims to ease the financial burden on students and promote education, agriculture, and industrialization.
