Kigali: The Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government and its stakeholders has organized the 5th phase of the Quality Education Enhancement Awareness Campaign scheduled on May 27th to June 7th, 2019, with the theme:” A Regular Present Teacher, With Good Pedagogical Practices is Key to Quality Education”. The campaign targets 900 schools in 30 districts.

“The objectives of the Campaign are to advise Head teachers to supervise in-class teaching activities, to advise teachers to be present and punctual on duty, to advise teachers to plan and teach lessons respecting the Competence Based Curriculum Standards and to take measures to prevent issues of absenteeism, class repetition and school dropout.
