Enko Ouaga Campus\u2019 Head of School Mr Thierry Adam has found an innovative alternative to this polluting solution. &#8220;Having a conversation with my teachers, I asked them why we would not use a resource Burkina Faso is not short of: the sun!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The team immediately joined forces. One of the teachers introduced the Head of School to BUY US, a Burkinabe company specialized in solar energy. The school had an unused flat roof, ideal for solar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The students were also involved thanks to the Physics teacher and solar expert, Mr Somda, who made them estimate the surface and quantity of panels needed to cover the school\u2019s consumption. The students did all the theoretical work on the energy as part as their Physics class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">A few months later, the panels are in place! They are invisible from the street and the playground, the batteries are placed in the lab\u2019s preparation room so that Mr Somda can easily access them.\u00a0 In the event of a power failure, they automatically take over without any gap. Classes are no longer interrupted, students continue to work with light and fans, even in the computer room!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">&#8220;The most impressive is that during power outages, you can hear all the noisy generators of the surrounding buildings starting. At school, there is no noise, solar energy silently takes over. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">This initiative, in addition to its positive social and environmental impact on the community, allows Enko Ouaga Campus students to study in optimal conditions. A prerequisite for these ambitious students who follow the demanding International Baccalaureate programmes, fulfilling the Enko Education mission of increasing access to the world\u2019s best universities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11477 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/enkoeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enkoeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/signature.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/enkoeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/signature-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enkoeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/signature-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, power cuts are legion.
