1. The Biblical
ant Theologic Institute of Man :
Founded
in 1957, the Biblical Institute of Man is with the
service of the Church for the training of the servants
and maidservants of God. It is a work of the UEESO-Cl
on which it entirely depends. But there remains open
and receives students (be) external with the UEESO.
It is located at Man (ZLANWOPLEU). The Institute with
a capacity of reception of more than 30 students.
The courses are spread out over 3 years. These students
are framed by professors of the Ivory Coast members
of the UEESO and teachers missionaries the access
to the IB of man is opened to any committed Christian
who has the vocation to serve God full-time. But the
entry is subjected to the financial constraints due
to the increase in the cost of living in Ivory Coast.
For an unmarried student, the school fees rise to
375 000 F.CFA and for the married students, these
expenses are of 530 000 F.CFA. So that certain local
churches do not manage to honour the school fees of
their students and the latter give up their schooling
as from the 2nd quarter. This situation worsens because
of the financial weight reserved for the local churches
and areas for the training of their students sent
to the IB of Man in more of the allowances of the
servants of God employed full-time. These costs are
thus increasingly heavy to support by the churches
of the Union.
