Effective next academic year in 2024 , all students’ uniforms in Burkina Faso are to be replaced with their traditional attire “Faso Dan Fani ”, this means the woven cloth of the home land .
Joseph Andre Ouedrago a minister in Burkina Faso said their plan is to have all schools by 2026-2027 to have Faso Dan Fani as their school uniform and this will apply for both public and private schools . For the start four cities that’s to say Bobu- Dioulasso, Sabou , Koudougou and Ouagadougou are first priority this year 2023.
