Teachers in Rusizi district are worried over delayed completion of teachers’ houses promised by the Ministry of Education of which construction has been pending for three years instead of taking one year. In many parts of the country, teachers’ houses were completed.
Some of teachers from Saint Augustin School expressed their worries to IGIHE saying that they still travel long distances to reach the school which affects their overall performance.
“Traveling a long distance to reach the school is tiresome, affects performance and pupils learning,” said Alex Niyigena.
Another teacher Philbert Ngabonziza said; “This area becomes muddy especially when it rains. It takes a long process to reach the school. We want renewal of construction of suspended building activities to improve the situation.”
The officer in charge of education in Rusizi district, Jean Pierre Nteziyaremye they are investigating the cause of delay.
“All required materials were provided. We are investigating to know what went wrong. We are sending district auditing team to help in following up the case,” he said.
