IV-Conclusion
1-Balance
The Nelson Mandela High school is a public school that has seen great changes since 1953 until today. This property consists of an administration and many students who, with their activities have led to proper functioning of the school. Nowadays, it is assumed that the school has a good education with the best teachers. Supervisors watch over the discipline of the pupils.

2-Review
The High School has a good education with a relatively high rate of success in examinations. The teachers are doing their best to communicate the best teachings, although many students are in classes up to one hundred and twenty students in grades11. But it is unfortunate that most members of the administration ignore the history of the school since 1953 until nowadays because we had to go to see an old guard of 1978 for information about the school.
It is incomprehensible that the second largest school in Burkina Faso has only three heads of taps for two thousand one hundred and thirty two students and pay parking. The teachers’ office is in poor condition as well as desks and ceilings.
