Building not accessible to people living with disabilities: problem resolved at École primaire Les Collines thanks to citizen monitoring

Illustration : accessibilité

At École primaire Les Collines (Funa, Kinshasa), the Integrity Club reported on EduCheck: building not accessible to people living with disabilities. Within 88 days and through « Advocacy », the project fixed the problem; the monitors checked the fix on site.

The « Réhabilitation d’un bâtiment scolaire » project is meant to improve École primaire Les Collines (Funa, Kinshasa). Student monitors of the school’s Integrity Club, trained by the Anti-Corruption Research Centre (CERC), follow the works with the EduCheck questionnaire to check that what was promised is delivered.

The problem

On 29 December 2025, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at École primaire Les Collines: building not accessible to people living with disabilities.

Every step without a ramp keeps out pupils living with disabilities, who have the same right to school as everyone else.

The problem was published on the school’s page and sent to the project management committee and the contractor.

The dialogue

The monitors opened a dialogue with the project management committee and the contractor:

  • Advocacy

The result

The fix was recorded on 27 March 2026, 88 days after the report.

During their visit on 11 October 2026, the monitors checked the fix on site: the problem moved to « Verified » on EduCheck.

This success shows what citizen monitoring makes possible: a problem made visible, a dialogue with the right people and a verified solution, for the benefit of pupils.

Your school can change too

Students, parents and teachers trained by CERC monitor their school and talk with those in charge until problems are fixed.
