When he visited Rusizi District on Sunday, State Minister in charge of Primary and Secondary Education, Dr. Isaac Munyakazi told teachers, school principals and officers in charge of education in Rusizi District during a training session in Rusizi District that those who do not improve will be punished.<\/p>\n
The training was about school management, training, and vocational courses, writing, numerical literacy, and teaching. <\/p>\n
Dr. Munyakazi told those who were trained that \u201cattaining meaningful education implies many things including training the students, teachers, and heads of schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to take it seriously. I am not going to start something that will end as soon as I leave here. I wish that when we meet next time, we will be proud of the changes in your manner of working from the trainings you are given,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Munyakazi told the teachers that the government and its partners invest over 1000 euros per year per teacher and they should, therefore, make use of that opportunity. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou were trained and given all the necessary requirements. How come you’re Underperforming? It will be a criminal. You will have no explanation. If I were you and failed here, I would go back home, go to bed and think. Would take a pen and sheet of paper and write that I would maybe like to be a motorcyclist because teaching is not my thing.”<\/p>\n
Another way of the evaluation was also established to see if those who were trained are improving and by which the ones who will fail to improve will be punished.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is what we follow in promoting you and making certain decisions. We want to see changes that have an impact on you. Those who perform well may replace the ones that perform badly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He gave an example of how a teacher may be trained and become apparently fit to lead a school. When given that chance, he added, the teacher may replace the one who was trained but failed to improve. <\/p>\n
Stefan Vande Walle, the advisor to VVOB Rwanda, a Belgian project that offered the training opportunity, said that they trained school staff because \u201cResearch showed that good school authority is central for raising the quality of education\u201d.<\/p>\n
Anders L\u00f6nnnqvist the head of the team for an English project, Building Learning Foundation, which provided training on \u201cCaring for learning that uplifts students\u2019 education\u201d said that they focus on Kinyarwanda, English, and Maths because they are the ones that enable the students to complete P6 with basic knowledge.<\/p>\n
David Munezero a math teacher, told IGIHE that \u2018the training will enable us to solve the problems we used to encounter in teaching with nothing tangible to follow. According to what we were trained about, we will be helping one another. We will be sitting down in groups as teachers and teach one another,\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
