Beninese teachers, pictured here, were trained in the GLOBE measurements at an
August 1995 workshop in Dakar, Senegal and have introduced GLOBE to their
students at nine schools
throughout this West African country. Students began making observations in
December 1995. The first Beninese school to report data, Ecole Primaire
Mandina/A, was assisted by the Office of the Mayor of Parakou and the United
States Peace Corps.
The Ministry of Education is continuing to oversee development and expansion of the GLOBE program in Benin under the leadership of Mr. Aliyou Bello.
