Activity Summary Mureke Dusome is a USAID-funded activity that aims to foster partnerships between schools and the broader community in a bid to improve children’s literacy outcomes. The project is being implemented by Save the Children and its partner organization, Umuhuza, through a phased approach, in all 30 districts of the country from January 2016 to July 2021. Mureke Dusome has been designed to contribute to the Rwandan Education Sector under the Government of Rwanda’s national development priorities, whose strategic plan acknowledges the importance of developing lifelong reading habits and ensuring students develop the foundational skills needed to move from ‘learning to read’ to ‘reading to learn’ across all curriculum subjects.1 Accordingly, the goal of Mureke Dusome is to improve P1-P3 students’ ability to read with fluency and comprehension by: 1. Strengthening the capacity of school leadership to improve student literacy through school-community partnerships; 2. Increasing effective community and parental involvement to improve literacy skills; and 3. Fostering a culture of reading. These three interrelated results will improve the quality of school-community partnerships as well as community and home learning environments (HLEs). The theory of change is that children learn to read better in these supportive conditions than if they are receiving classroom-based instruction alone. Mureke Dusome complements the classroom-based interventions of other USAID-funded education programs, namely Soma Umenye. A phased approach to implementation: The Mureke Dusome project was launched in Rwanda in 2016. Burera and Gicumbi Districts were chosen as implementation locations in year one in order to build on existing operational and program activities already in place by Save the Children and Umuhuza in these same areas in order to enable the immediate start-up of Mureke Dusome activities, capitalizing on program experience, existing infrastructure, and community/government relationships. Commencing FY2017, Mureke Dusome phased into 10 additional districts and in FY2018, Mureke Dusome completed the phasing process by scaling up the project in the final 18 districts of Rwanda. In order to strengthen the capacity of school leadership to improve student literacy, Mureke Dusome first worked in collaboration with the Rwanda Education Board (REB)-School Leadership and Management (SLM) Unit to develop the National Standards for Parent-School Partnership (NSPSP). These standards served as the framework for the content for Head Teachers’ (HTs) and School General Assembly Committee (SGAC) presidents’ and vice presidents’ self-study modules; these modules have been designed so that Sector Education Officers (SEOs) lead HTs and SGAC presidents and vice presidents in these processes.2 After piloting these self-study modules in 12 districts, Mureke Dusome scaled up to the remaining 18 districts in FY2018 in the rest of the country. 1 Education Sector Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18. (October 2013) Republic of Rwanda, Ministry of Education. 2 SEOs have their own versions of the training modules with facilitation guidance notes and receive a face-to-face training on their implementation. 5 Mureke Dusome Quarterly Report for the Period January-March 2019 To increase effective community and parental involvement in improving literacy skills, Mureke Dusome has been conducting a comprehensive Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) campaign, which among other strategies, includes training community radio station workers on key Mureke Dusome literacy messages and integrating literacy content into Urunana DC’s popular radio drama series (2016-2018). In addition, Umuhuza has popularized and promoted community literacy by training community volunteer Literacy Champions (LCs) and engaging Urugerero youth in the promotion of literacy. Using Mureke Dusome-developed Literacy Champion toolkits, these LC volunteers organize community literacy activities, such as weekly reading clubs and Umuganda literacy activities for children; they also spread key literacy messaging in various community meetings. In FY2018, Mureke Dusome set up a Community Literacy Fund in order to replenish reading clubs and support local initiatives that further promote community literacy activities. Through the fund, communities receive more reading books and literacy-related materials. Lastly, Mureke Dusome currently works with the GOR at the national and local levels to utilize existing civic service bodies and institutions, which include Urugerero youth service and Umuganda, in supporting community literacy activities. These complementary activities are being reinforced and sustained by the following initiatives: Rwanda Reads continuing to serve as the collaboration platform for government and civil society via meetings and its updated website; The promotion of literacy within the formal policies and standards of REB, Ministry of Sports and Culture (MINISPOC) and the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC); The strengthening of the local children’s book industry through increasing the market supply and demand for storybooks, by conducting market research, and by providing mentoring and networking opportunities for publishers, writers, and illustrators.

  • Social Studies for Ttc Schools Option: Ealy Child Hood and Lower Primary Education (Eclpe) Year One
    SOCIAL STUDIES FOR TTC SCHOOLS OPTION: EALY CHILD HOOD AND LOWER PRIMARY EDUCATION (ECLPE) YEAR ONE STUDENT BOOK © 2020 Rwanda Education Board (REB). All rights reserved. This book is property of the Government of Rwanda. Credit must be given to REB when the content is quoted. FOREWORD The Rwanda Education Board is honoured to avail the Social Studies Student’s Book, Year One for Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) in ECLPE Option and it serves as official guide to teaching and learning of Social Studies. The Rwandan education philosophy is to ensure that young people at every level of education achieve their full potential in terms of relevant knowledge, skills and appropriate attitudes that prepare them to be well integrated in society and exploit employment opportunities. The ambition to develop a knowledge-based society and the growth of regional and global competition in the job market has necessitated the shift to a competence-based curriculum. After a successful shift from knowledge to a competence-based curriculum in general education, TTC curriculum also was revised to align it to the CBC in general education to prepare teachers who are competent and confident to implement CBC in pre-primary and primary education. The rationale of the changes is to ensure that TTC leavers are qualified for job opportunities and further studies in higher education in different programs under education career advancement. I wish to sincerely express my appreciation to the people who contributed towards the development of this document, particularly, REB staff, lecturers, TTC Tutors, Teachers from general education and experts from Local and International Organizations for their technical support.
