STiR was very pleased to welcome the State Minister for Primary Education, Hon. Rosemary Seninde, to open our national institute in Kampala today, delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports. This annual institute brought together more than 150 district education leaders from across our 39 districts in Uganda, to receive training to prepare them for the new school year.
The Minister opened the event with a speech, in which she said: “I am really pleased to see all of these stakeholders gathered here for the purpose of improving education quality. 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.”
STiR’s Uganda Country Director Jess Talbot said: “We are so grateful to the Minister for her contribution to this event. Our ongoing partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports is absolutely critical to the success of our intervention, and we hope to work very closely together over this year as we continue to build government ownership to ensure long-term sustainability.”
