Under the Belgian colonial administration (1908-1960) and soon after the Congo independence in 1960, the Congolese teacher had a high standing of live. He was dignified by both the colonizer and his compatriots and belonged to this social class referred to as « évolués » (i.e. educated), which was considered as mediating group between Blacks and Whites, often called « Existence Zone ».Soon after his country’s independence, the teacher’s socio-professional status deteriorated as a result of the recurrent economic and social crises undergone by the country. This drove him into the so-called « no Existence Zone ». And in order for him not to perish, he designed survival strategies which, unfortunately, did not enable him to recover his initial status. This means that he has been unable to get out of the decaying situation ever since.Also, currently, in spite of the government’s endeavour to improve his socio-professional situation, the Congolese teacher is still deep-roosted in these survival strategies. There is still a long way to go to achieve the dream and make it alive. Let’s wait and see.
