Background
In recent years, teachers in Rwanda have experienced major changes in?their education system. The introduction of dual shifts for morning and afternoon schooling, a reduction of core taught subjects and the introduction of English as the primary language of instruction in schools have contributed to increasing pressure
on an already limited teaching capacity.?Consequently,?there is?a growing need for education leaders to provide support to their teachers by developing their teaching practices, English language skills and inclusive stakeholder relations. Working as an Education Management Advisor, you will support education leaders meet these needs by introducing and developing stakeholder management, relationship building and teaching assessment and evaluation methods.?What does the role involve
???? Developing a monitoring system for use of capitalisation of grants and assisting head teachers in effective usage within disadvantaged sectors
???? Establishing a district education council ? to bring all stakeholders together with the help of an education specialist
???? Working with the district and schools to increase the relationships between teachers, directors and parents through structures such as a parent teacher association
???? Promoting strategies for head teachers to develop staff unity and increase teacher motivation
???? Establishing a mechanism for schools to track attendance and drop-out rates and develop strategies to encourage its usage.
Skills, qualifications and experience required
An education degree plus a minimum of five years education management experience are essential.? You will also need proven experience of working with parent teacher groups, conducting inspections and assessing teaching standards. Experience in conducting baseline research and training needs analysis is also desirable. Self-motivated and well-organised, you will need to be culturally sensitive with strong interpersonal and communication skills and the confidence to create positive relationships in diverse cultures and working environments.??
