LYNAQE 2025 : Quand l’excellence est sanctionnée — Indignation face à une injustice flagrante (Communiqué)
Press release denouncing the parents and guardians
It is with deep indignation, but also a high sense of civic responsibility, that we, parents and guardians of students, speak out to denounce a decision which we consider unfair, contradictory and prejudicial taken by the deliberation committee of the entrance competition to the 2nd year of the Nation-Army High Schools for Quality and Equity (LYNAQE 2025) , during its session of October 27, 2025 held at DEXCO .
The LYNAQE 2025 competition, organized in the name of quality , fairness and excellence , registered the participation of four (04) candidates: NFD, MD, MK and MDS , all components at the center of the Ahmadou Bamba Technical High School of Diourbel (LTAB) .
After submitting their applications— which were reviewed, deemed compliant, and validated by the relevant departments ( IEF, IA, and DEXCO )—these students were officially authorized to take the written exams for the competition, held on October 13 and 14, 2025 , according to the list of 28 candidates per IEF . Brilliant results…paradoxically penalized
The facts are disturbing and speak for themselves:
The NFD grade report, downloaded from ANADOLE.NET on Saturday, November 1, 2025 , indicates an average of 13.63/20 , higher than those of 13.09 and 12.72 obtained respectively by the 2nd and 3rd admitted from the quota of the IEF of Mbacké / French option (ranked 33rd and 52nd out of 240 admitted nationally).
MD obtained an average of 13.45/20 , above the averages of the candidates ranked 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th admitted from the quota of the IEF of Mbacké / French option .
. MK achieves an average of 13.50/20 , better than that of the candidate ranked 2nd admitted from the quota of the IEF of Mbacké / French option .
Finally, MDS stands out with an average of 13.81/20 , the best performance , far exceeding those of 13.72/20 and 11.63/20 of the two candidates admitted from the IEF of Bambey / French option (ranked respectively 15th and 118th out of 240 admitted at the national level).
The incomprehensible verdict: failure without ranking
Despite these eloquent performances, these four (04) candidates were simply not ranked on the ANADOLE platform , but declared “Failed (E)” , without initial explanation.
This situation has plunged the students into deep moral distress, and us, parents and guardians, into total incomprehension , desperately seeking the reasons for such a verdict.
And yet, according to all academic and comparative logic:
. MDS was supposed to be the top student in the IEF of Bambey (French option);
. NFD , the top-ranked student admitted to the IEF of Mbacké (French option);
. MK , the 2nd best candidate from the IEF of Mbacké;
MD , the 3rd best candidate from the same quota.
A belated and questionable justification
It was only on Sunday, November 2, 2025, around 7:00 PM , that an update to the ANADOLE.NET platform occurred, mentioning as the sole reason for disqualification: “Rejected by the jury” , accompanied by the age criterion as of December 31, 2025 :
. MDS : 17 years, 4 months, 11 days — Rejected by the jury ;
. MD : 17 years, 11 months, 4 days — Rejected by the jury ;
. MK : 17 years, 3 months, 5 days — Rejected by the jury ;
NFD : 17 years, 11 months, 15 days — Rejected by the jury .
A decision contrary to the principles of transparency and fairness
We firmly believe that the jury cannot rule on the conformity of the files at the very last stage of the process , much less exclude candidates who have been officially authorized to compete by the competent authorities.
Allowing candidates to participate in the YNAQE 2025 competition when it was established from the outset that they could be replaced by other candidates designated by each IEF constitutes a serious and unacceptable violation of the principles of fairness and transparency. This maneuver, which consisted of allowing candidates to compete while reserving the right to later declare their applications inadmissible, is a profoundly unjust and discriminatory practice.
Even more seriously, several of these candidates were admitted and achieved excellent results, some even ranking among the best. Questioning their legitimacy after the fact amounts to denying their merit, undermining their effort, and damaging the very credibility of the competition.
The candidates removed from the list nevertheless competed with their real age, in complete transparency, without any prior judgment having been made on this subject at the time of their registration.
However, it seems contradictory that this competition, which also allows judgments and evaluations based on subjective criteria, excludes certain candidates solely because of their age. This practice raises questions about fairness, consistency, and respect for the principle of equal opportunity, which should be central to any competition.
These actions seriously discredit the YNAQE 2025 organization and demonstrate a blatant disregard for the values of justice, rigor, and equal opportunity. They are in complete contradiction with the slogan "Jub, Jubal, Jubanti," championed by His Excellency the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye , and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko , which embodies the demand for integrity, transparency, and a break with past practices.
The age criterion was never a barrier during the application process, nor during the administration of the tests. It is therefore unacceptable that it be invoked after the fact to invalidate results based on proven performance and to call into question the credibility of the selection process, particularly when it concerns the top students from Mbacké and Bambey .
We also note that the decree governing LYNAQE 2024 , under which 28 admitted candidates were born in 2007 , is the same decree that governed LYNAQE 2025. This situation reinforces the inconsistent and discriminatory nature of the contested decision.
In accordance with the annex to the aforementioned decree:
Any incomplete or non-compliant application will be closed without further action;
The final list of candidates authorized to take the competition is published in the press .
Since these candidates were on the official list and took the exam, their rejection following the deliberation clearly violates the principles of transparency, equal opportunity, and fairness . Our solemn appeal to the competent authorities,
In view of:
. Prior validation of files;
. Official authorization to compete;
Sustained efforts provided by the students;
Sacrifices made by families;
. Mobilizing stakeholders in the education system;
And above all, the undeniable individual performances achieved by these candidates,
We believe that this decision has seriously harmed these students and undermined the very spirit of LYNAQE.
We therefore urge , with respect and hope , the immediate reassessment of these cases, in order to restore these students to their rights , and to preserve the true meaning of the words "Quality" and "Equity" , which underpin the identity and credibility of LYNAQE.
Excellence should never be punished.

Aussi il y a de la magouille qui commence à se développer sur le choix des élèves.
Beug lou yomb bakhoul, on risque de te rendre un enfant dont l'éducation est ratée
A bon entendeur....
Le critère « âgé de 17 ans au plus » signifie simplement que l’on ne doit pas avoir franchi le seuil des 18 ans. Que l’on ait 17 ans et 1 jour ou 17 ans et 364 jours, on reste dans la catégorie des personnes ayant 17 ans ou moins. L’âge s’apprécie en années révolues, c’est-à-dire en fonction du nombre d’anniversaires déjà célébrés, et non en fonction de la proximité avec l’anniversaire suivant.
Donc une personne née, par exemple, le 15 janvier 2008 aura 17 ans et environ 11 mois et demi le 31 décembre 2025, et sera bien éligible selon ce critère
On peut comparer cela à une élection présidentielle : toute personne peut déposer sa candidature, mais c’est le conseil qui la valide. Or, au lieu de déclarer une candidature non recevable, on laisse le candidat battre campagne. Il arrive même en tête, et au moment de la proclamation des résultats, on lui dit qu’il ne peut pas être président à cause de son âge, alors qu’il était possible de déclarer sa candidature non recevable dès le départ.
Pourtant genre yi mo takh les jeunes ne veulent plus faire de concours. Car certains concours sont déjà trop sélectifs, ils vont y mettre trop d'efforts pour en sortir en se sacrifiant ( Une bonne préparation, laisser tout et la concentration, ...) mais être sélectionné est le problème le plus persistant, et est souvent causé par le nombre de candidats élevé. Ce dernier peut multiplier beaucoup de fois le quota demandé. On note aussi que dans les concours les fis des riches et ceux des hommes de tenus réussissent toujours alors que les fils de soi-disant "baadola" sont souvent les meilleurs et donnent tout contrairement à eux.
En plus warnaño wakh thi les deux fameux termes le "lidieunti" et le bras long oubien "koula fi yaball, andi, déposéll, domou diw la" ...

C'est injuste de réussir et qu'on te retiens
C'est injuste qu'on respecte les normes sans succès
C'est injuste d'endosser une injustice à un adolescent
C'est injuste de fournir plus et Celui qui donne le moins devance toujours ... ... ... 😭😭😭
