The text we have to analyse in entitled “Gabon Teachers on Strike Again”. It’s an online article taken
from: WWW. News 24. Com/Africa. Published in April 2015. This informative text was written by
Christian MbNa ze.
The theme of this text is school education and government, it’s about educational condition in which
teachers and students are living in. The author’s intention is to drawn government attention on teachers
working conditions.

II- Summary
1-Structure
The text can be divided into 2 mains parts.
 The first part is paragraph 1 and 2. It’s about reasons of strike and how protest is going on.

 The second part is paragraph 3 and 4. It deals with teacher’s working conditions.

2-Summary It self
Gabon teachers are on strike because of different reasons: they are striking over woeful pay, students out
number in class room they are hardly paid. Badly housed and badly transported. These reasons affect their
work and educational system in Gabon.

III-Commentary
From the title Gabonese teachers on strike again we can easily imagine the content of the text. Gabonese
teachers are all the time on strike since some years.
What can be the main reason of thus strike?
The main reasons are: the precarious existence of its teachers, the typical Gabonese classroom is in a
pretty poor shape itself. Class sizes can be as high as 100 and 200 pupils, Buildings have lacked basic
maintenance over the years and there often water and electricity shortages, as pointed out teachers and
pupils. And it finally got to the point where I had 120 pupils, some of them sat on the floor, others at the
very back of the classroom, Patrick, a Science teacher said.
They are striking over woeful pay, students out number in class room they are hardly paid. Badly housed
and badly transported. These reasons affect their work and educational system in Gabon.
Gabonese government is not able to fulfil teacher’s needs that is why they are all the time striking our
government must take its responsibility and save our educational system once for all.

IV-Personal opinion
As for as I am concerned, the text is interesting in the sense that it deals with how Gabonese educational
system is almost on the floor. Teachers are working in bad conditions this has affected student’s education.
To solve this problem, something must be done so that our children regain a good education.

Branching out: The text reveals us how teachers work in Gabon, are they the only public servants who
are undergoing this sad reality?

2- Summary it self
Nowadays, poverty is the principal reason of some criminal activities such as child prostitution. Maria
is a perfect example of this reality. The situation is observed throughout the world and has got a large
number of consequences. For it turns young girls into frustrated and worthless characters.

III- Commentary
From what we have Just read. We have better understood the reality of prostitution in the world. Being a
wildly opened activity, some parents encourage their children to practice this mad activity. It is the case
of Maria’s mother. This behavior should be toughly condemned. Because parents must be main
protagonists for child education. Some parents today are not serious at all; how can you sell your child
body to cover your limited income? People must be conscious for we cannot eradicate poverty and misery
by child prostitution other solution can be found.

IV- Personal Opinion

As for as, I am concerned the text is interesting in the sense that it is dealing with prostitution a criminal
activity. We all know that this practice is bad and it must be forbidden because it doesn’t valorize the
values of our society. We must be conscious and revalorize our values.

V- Branching out
We have studied the situation of Maria in Brazil. What about the practice of prostitution in our country
Gabon?
