All about Bornali
I’m a School Leadership Advisor, on the Building Learnings Foundation (BLF) programme in Rwanda. I work closely with head teachers to provide support in the move to the new teaching language and improving teaching methods.
Nearly all Rwandan children are enrolled in primary school, however many leave without functional literacy and numeracy skills they need. Classrooms are basic, learning resources are limited and teachers are often unqualified.
There are many contributory factors as to why children are falling behind but through the BLF programme, many volunteers and I are working with schools. teacher training colleges and the Rwandan Government to overcome these challenges and improve basic education for all. With the aim, to ensure no child is left behind.
