AMOS K

Teachers in Kisoro district have been urged to regularly attend refresher academic workshops to stay updated, as today’s education system is constantly evolving.

The call was made by Reverend Herbert Mujabwami, the education coordinator of Muhabura Diocese, during a one-day teachers’ workshop held at the former Kisoro Primary Teachers’ College in Kisoro district.

The training, organized by Muhabura Diocese in partnership with Broad Educational Consult Limited, targeted Primary Four and Primary Five teachers from Church of Uganda-founded schools.

Reverend Herbert appreciated Broad Educational Consult Limited for their support, noting that the workshop was very helpful as it brought together teachers from different schools to share academic ideas. He added that such initiatives will contribute to improved performance in schools across Kisoro district and help update teachers who completed their studies many years ago.

Sam Zitta, the chairperson of Kisoro Headteachers, also expressed gratitude to Broad Educational Consult Limited for their support. He emphasized that knowledge can become outdated over time, and therefore, teachers need continuous training to remain effective and up to date.

He added that this initiative will help teachers better prepare their pupils for excellent performance in Primary Seven examinations. He also noted that most of these teachers handle more than just P4 and P5 classes, so the benefits of the training will positively impact all levels if well implemented.

Julius Nahabwe, the chief executive officer of Broad Educational Consult Limited– Rukungiri, explained that the purpose of the workshop was to equip teachers with modern teaching methods and a better understanding of the curriculum. He emphasized the importance of knowing how to interpret the curriculum for improved classroom delivery.

Julius further noted that the training was fully facilitated by Broadway Consultants at no cost to the participants. He highlighted their commitment to customer satisfaction, citing that they have previously held similar free workshops for Catholic and private schools, and this time, the focus was on Anglican schools.
