Strategic Meeting For Data Analysis, Documentation And Concentration Of Teacher Training

                   In order to speed up the process of the implementation of the project, a three-day workshop planned on 9-11.02.2022 was postponed due to the critical situation of war in Eastern North DRC. The situation was alarming. Staff and selected teachers could not leave their families. The meeting was organized to solidarize with concerned staff and reflect on strategies to continue the project. Colleagues from Goma (CBCA & ULPGL) expressed that there is a very high psychosis that could not allow people to leave their families and come to Gisenyi. After discussion, two decisions were made. First, it was decided to do summaries of analysis in different groups and have an online workshop for presentation on 15.02.2023 from 8 am. Different groups on perspectives curriculum toward digitalization at different levels, choice and the choice making of digital platforms, and quantitative analysis from questionnaires administered to teachers. Second, the decision to have an offline workshop would be decided during the online workshop on 15.02.2023 after observing the evolution of the war in Eastern DRC.
