To mark the 222nd anniversary of the Haitian national bicolor, several school institutions across the country began a series of conference-debates on Thursday, May 15, 2025, focusing on the importance of the national bicolor. These activities, according to the Ministry of National Education, are part of the programs outlined in the MENFP circular published on May 12, requesting public and private schools to mobilize all teachers and students around the national bicolor celebration.

In this regard, the departmental directorate of national education for the West organized 9 conference-debates on the importance of the Haitian flag. Also according to the MENFP note, these activities were organized at Lycées Benoit Batraville, Lycée National de Petion Ville, Lycée Anténor Firmin, Collège Saint-Louis de Bourdon, Institution Saint-Louis de Gonzague, Collège Altagrâce, Lycée Anacaona de Leogane, Faustin Soulouque de Petit Goave, and Lycée Jean-Marie Vincent.

Other conferences were also held in several other school establishments this Friday, May 16, such as Cent-cinquantenaire (girls' high school) and Lycée Horatius L'Aventure.

It should be recalled that « one people, one nation » is the theme chosen by the Haitian government for this year's flag celebration.
