Quotes from our stakeholders.

“Thank you to STiR Education for supporting the Government of Uganda on its journey to implementing the National Teacher Policy. As we implement this intervention in partnership with STiR Education, let us work together to build intrinsic motivation amongst our teachers and our learners so we create a country where our teachers love teaching and our children love learning.”
Hon. Rosemary SenindeState Minister for Primary Education, Uganda

“The programme has made a huge difference. The teachers have bonded and support each other. Students are more open and trust their teacher. We have to work together for the benefit of these students, otherwise we will achieve nothing.”
Ms. Radhica AroraHead of School, SKV Andrews Ganj, Moti Bagh district, Delhi

“We appreciate STiR because wherever they work in the country, they deliver. We need to make sure that this kind of programme is scaled up to the whole country.”
Dr. Cleophus MugenyiNational Commissioner for Basic and Primary Education, Uganda

“STiR is a wonderful programme for me. You introduce new strategies which bring more happiness and curiosity for my class, and students engage more in their learning.”
Ms. SumaTeacher, Government Primary School Debhuru, Mysuru district, Karnataka

“At a school level, our teachers have really benefited a lot because of STiR. At the beginning, they were thinking of motivation in terms of finances, but now teachers are not pushed into doing work, they are eager to teach and children are in an environment where they want to study and learn.”
Kyagulanyi Jimmy DdumbaDistrict Education Officer, Kiboga district, Uganda
