ODL for teacher training, Rwanda

At a consultative meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, on Teacher Education and Training through ODL, Mr Leon Mugenzi, Head of  Teacher Development, Management and Career Guidance and the Counselling Department at the Rwanda Basic Education Board (RBEB), hailed ODL as “a momentous step towards bolstering the quality of education.”

The consultation, organised in collaboration with COL, was attended by representatives from various Rwandan teacher training institutions, the University of Rwanda, schools, development partners and the RBEB. The findings of a COL-supported baseline study were unveiled, laying the foundation for an ambitious national ODL strategy.

As Rwanda unfolds its national ODL strategy, the education landscape stands poised for transformative change, with technology playing a crucial role in shaping the future of teaching and learning.
