Le Comité national (CN) Sénégalais de UWC est composé d’anciens élèves UWC qui s’engagent à faire connaitre le mouvement UWC au sein des écoles sous la tutelle des inspections régionales d’académie du Ministère de l’Education Nationale (MEN). Nous souhaitons ainsi offrir à un maximum d’élèves brillants de la classe de seconde provenant de tous les coins du pays, l’opportunité de décrocher une bourse afin de poursuivre des études dans un lycée UWC. A cette fin, le CN du Sénégal travaille chaque année en collaboration avec le MEN pour organiser le processus de sélection UWC. Le NC organise également des événements sociaux, éducatifs et professionnels dont les dates seront régulièrement publiées sur ce site.
