Over 500 Primary Schools Adopt Digital Approach to Improve Learning in Rwanda

Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) through Rwanda Education Quality Improvement Program (RwandaEQUIP), organized a head-teachers briefing session on a digital methodology meant to support and improve teaching and learning in 511 government-aided nursery and primary schools across the districts.

RwandaEQUIP is a government-led initiative working to deliver significant improvements in the learning outcomes for pupils in public and government-subsidized primary schools across the country.

During the orientation workshop with head teachers held in Kigali,  the RwandaEQUIP Managing Director, Clement Uwajeneza explained that the program introduces a novel digital approach to support and improve teaching and learning.

The teacher induction training that starts on August 6 and runs up to August 16 aims to enhance learning outcomes, enable learners to better their English and Kinyarwanda skills, and excel in mathematics and all curriculum lessons.

Uwajeneza said the training will equip teachers with the ability to use teaching material that is digitally delivered to the devices that they will use going forward, and equip teachers with new classroom management techniques that foster a positive learning environment.

He added that the training will also develop the mindset needed to be excellent teachers and school leaders, as well as develop the communication strategies needed to engage with the RwandaEQUIP community and beyond.

He further said RwandaEQUIP will provide teachers and heads of schools with constant comprehensive support to improve school management and performance as well as offer supplementary and complementary learning materials.
