Between 5,000 and 9,500 children out of school
According to a study commissioned by several Mahorese associations, from 5% to 8,8% of children aged 3 to 15 are not educated in the 101st department. That is 5,000 to 9,500 children who do not benefit from official education. Non-schooling is particularly high among 3-6 year olds, yet the rule of compulsory schooling from the age of 3 is applicable in Mayotte despite the glaring lack of nursery schools. In primary and secondary, which welcome a total of 112,000 students, more than 40% of establishments operate in rotation, alternately hosting classes in the morning and afternoon, lack of sufficient capacity.

Of the 260 kwassa-kwassa detected in three months, 173 were intercepted (+44% in one year).Nearly 5,000 illegal foreigners were arrested on land and 2,255 at sea, 237 engines seized and 18,376 cartons of contraband cigarettes recovered and destroyed.

The Departmental Council becomes for the first time the management authority of a European fund, Interreg VI Mozambique Channel, which starts and runs until 2027. This regional cooperation program has an envelope of 10,2 million euros in grants, which will be able to finance projects concerning at least two countries and territories among Mayotte, the Comoros, Mozambique and Reunion.
